From The Daily Mail- A mother has been left living in fear after she was pinned to the ground by three police officers for allegedly breaking COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.
Alla Novitzkay, 48, has bruises under her arms and pain in her back and neck after the dramatic incident in Hoppers Crossing in Melbourne's south-west on Saturday.
'I don't think I trust the police anymore and when I hear a police siren I feel fear,' she told Daily Mail Australia.
She was standing at the intersection of Heaths and Derrimut Road waiting for her daughter Anna who was at the bank when she was stopped by officers and accused of breaking COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.
But Ms. Novitzkay said she was not breaking any rules as she was just 3km from her home and wearing a mask.
