Swift-responding police arrested a man after an attempted robbery and assault in Melbourne’s CBD on Friday night (Feb. 9).
Police were called after a man initially boarded a tram where he allegedly unsuccessfully attempted to rob a man/woman before exiting at Princes Bridge about 5.30pm.
It is alleged the man then assaulted four people with a glass bottle, before he was arrested at the scene without incident.
A 67-year-old Warneet man, a 56-year-old Collingwood woman, a 24-year-old Kennington woman and a 46-year-old Hoppers Crossing woman were all taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The 27-year-old South Melbourne man was charged with four counts of recklessly cause injury.
He was remanded in custody to appear before the Melbourne Magistrate’s Court on Saturday (Feb. 10).
