Video / @davidestcourtVictoria Police are continuing their hunt for hundreds of anti-lockdown protesters after yesterday's demonstration devolved into violence and abuse. The worst scene was on Victoria St in Richmond when protesters stormed the police line. Footage showed dozens of protesters charging at police officers, with some particularly violent altercations involving police getting bowled over and then trampled by the crowd. A spokeswoman confirmed investigators were looking through footage from media, social media and body-worn cameras trying to identify protesters involved in assaults or criminal damages incidents. Victoria today recorded 507 new cases of coronavirus with Premier Dan Andrews detailing the state's road map to freedom.
