An elderly woman has been dramatically arrested by five police at a popular cafe after refusing to show her vaccination certificate.
Footage shows the moment police arrived at the Dayman General Store in Queensland's Hervey Bay - before a woman was seen rushing out past officers.
The video then shows the large squad of officers arresting the 46-year-old out the front of the store as she shrieked 'you can't arrest me'.
She was bundled into the back of the police car, taken to the watchhouse, charged, and fined $1,300.
'The police do not know Rebecca's medical background. Rebecca left the premise immediately and was polite and respectful throughout,' the cafe said in a post.
'She did not know why she was being arrested and like any normal person, did not want to be arrested. Because she didn't want to be arrested, she was 'obstructing justice'.'
