Dramatic footage has captured a bizarre stand-off between five police officers and two elderly women sitting on a Melbourne park bench.
The video posted to YouTube on Sunday showed the officers surrounding the two women as one of them said firmly: “No, I’m not standing up”.
“On what grounds am I under arrest? This is unlawful,” the woman said.
She then went on to raise her voice, again questioning why she was under arrest.
A female officer replied: “For failing to provide your name and address”.
The other woman had been recording the encounter, until a male officer walked behind her and appeared to snatch the device from her hand.
“Excuse me, you have no right to seize my property,” she yelled.
