Speaker 1: I'm Christy Lloyd with your news. Twenty four update. A
Speaker 1: man has been arrested over the alleged random daylight assault
Speaker 1: of a young boy in melbourne'st CBD. It's alleged the
Speaker 1: ten year old was assaulted in the upper body around
Speaker 1: one pm near La Trobe Street, Pilla Claim. A woman
Speaker 1: who was with the child was stamped after intervening. The
Speaker 1: duo has been taken to hospital for treatment of non
Speaker 1: life threatening injuries. Officers do not believe the two parties
Speaker 1: are known to each other.
Speaker 2: As she was walking off just past the police sign,
Speaker 2: we had a mail that was he's twenty seven years old.
Speaker 2: He's from Sunti North. He was walking south as he
Speaker 2: passed and he just randomly punched the ten year old
Speaker 2: boy to the upper body. Once he did that, he
Speaker 2: kept walking south. As he's kept walking. He then turned around,
Speaker 2: he grabbed the mother in a headlock and he started
Speaker 2: to stab her repeatedly with a pair of scissors. And
Speaker 2: we were able to arrest the mail and take him
Speaker 2: in to our custody immediately. He's known to police, but
Speaker 2: not extensive history. He's known to police here and in
Speaker 2: New South Wales and Western Australia as well, but there's
Speaker 2: nothing to suggest that they're known parties.
Speaker 1: The Royal Commission into Anti Semitism is reportedly on track
Speaker 1: to end early. The final witnesses in the inquiry, which
Speaker 1: was set up in the wake of the Bondain terror attack,
Speaker 1: are speaking this week. The Australian reports the Commission is
Speaker 1: due to hear from all of them by the end
Speaker 1: of Wednesday. That's despite growing pressure on the federal government
Speaker 1: to extend the inquiry.
Speaker 3: This is a betrayal of the Jewish community. It is
Speaker 3: absolutely the wrong thing to do. This is a government
Speaker 3: that has never wanted this Royal Commission. They did it
Speaker 3: under duress and there are clear witnesses that need to
Speaker 3: be called that haven't been. I think it's convenient from
Speaker 3: the government's point of view that they've run out of
Speaker 3: time because frankly, they don't want to be held to
Speaker 3: account for what was such a tragic event, the biggest
Speaker 3: mass murder we've seen on Australian soil, and we need
Speaker 3: answers to the questions that are rightly being asked.
