Victoria Police have arrested two people and released images of several others they hope to identify as part of an ongoing investigation into a violent Melbourne protest last month in which officers were allegedly assaulted.

Detectives from the North West Metro Regional Crime Squad have been examining the events of Oct. 19, when counter-protesters clashed with police during the “March for Australia” rally in the CBD.
