A man who tried to defy the lockdown at one of Melbourne’s public housing towers allegedly bit a law enforcement officer while trying to leave, as homeowners endured another day of enforced quarantine in their homes.
Bottom line:
- Of the towers’ 3,000 residents, 53 have actually been infected with coronavirus
- The cops union fears its members, and for that reason the general public, are at threat and authorities resources might be much better utilized
- But Victoria’s police chief is confident there are “no problems whatsoever” with resources
9 public real estate estates in Flemington and North Melbourne remain in “tough lockdown”, with another 16 individuals in the towers detected with COVID-19 in the past day.
The lockdown means citizens can not leave for any reason.
Victoria Authorities Chief Commissioner Shane Patton said a resident had actually been arrested after trying to fight police when they stopped him from leaving.
