Victoria Police confirms Transit Safety Division and Professional Standards Command are investigating the vision.

The incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon at Melbourne’s busiest train station, at the centre of the CBD.

The footage spread widely on social media and was filmed during widespread unrest in the city.

Victoria Police said they are aware of a video circulating on social media depicting an arrest at Flinders Street Station.

“The exact circumstances around the incident are yet to be determined and are under investigation by both Transit Safety Division and Professional Standards Command,” they said.

Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police Shane Patton today confirmed police are reviewing the footage.

He told a major radio station in the city, 3AW, that he doesn’t “know what the full circumstances are. There’s always context to everything.”

“Of course there’ll be incidents that appear, or may be inappropriate, but any of them that are, we will fully investigate.”

TikTok users could soon find that the popular social media service is either under new ownership or could be outright banned in the United States.

President Joe Biden signed a bill into law that requires TikTok to find a new owner—or face a ban in the United States.

Over the past several months, Washington D.C. has been under pressure to ban the popular Chinese-owned social media app.

Lawmakers and security experts have long raised concerns that the Chinese government could tap TikTok’s trove of personal data about millions of U.S. users.

TikTok’s CEO said the bill is disappointing and reiterated that the company has committed to challenge it.

Threads, the social media platform owned by Meta, is gaining traction with a surge in daily active users, outpacing X in the U.S.

With Threads averaging 28 million daily active users compared to X’s 22 million, Meta’s ambitions to reach a billion users seem within reach despite a slowdown in growth. While X still boasts 550 million monthly active users globally, Threads’ focus on user experience and avoidance of real-time and political content could position it as a formidable competitor moving forward.
