The brother of a man who was hit by a car and stomped on during a Melbourne arrest says it was traumatic and heartbreaking to see video of the 'inhumane' incident.
The 32-year-old, who has bipolar disorder, spent time in an induced coma following the incident.
He was still waiting for treatment about 4pm on Sunday when he allegedly broke some glass doors exiting the facility and police were called. "I've also formed the view that the use of force in using a police vehicle with the man involved in that incident is concerning," Dept. Comm. Paterson said.The driver has had their authority to drive a police vehicle withdrawn.
