Two Victoria Police officers face serious assault charges after an August arrest sparked a probe by the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission. One officer is accused of repeatedly striking an Indigenous man with a Taser, charged with aggravated assault with a weapon; the other allegedly used his knee to strike the man’s head, facing unlawful assault charges.
