AT least 16 people have been struck by a four-wheel-drive in the centre of Melbourne.
The car hit and injured a number of pedestrians outside Melbourne’s Flinders Street station, then crashed into a bollard.
Ambulance Victoria said paramedics were assessing people at the scene of the incident.
Police have confirmed that the driver of the vehicle and a second man have been arrested. …
A preschool-aged child with head injuries is among the injured and has been transported to Royal Children’s Hospital in a serious condition.
It seems this was a deliberate act. Trying to kill pre-schoolers – just despicable. Makes me want to return to the era of an eye for an eye and have the punishment being getting run over for several hours by various cars to see how they like it. Then I calm down.
This is the 2nd attack by vehicle in Melbourne in 2017. Sadly this will spread to New Zealand at some stage.
