The Melbourne IMC is carrying reports of police violence at the World Economic Forum protests, culminating in the story of an unmarked police car which knocked over several protesters and ran over one woman. This story and its following comments provide an unfolding picture.

The story linked to below simply states, "A few reports are coming in that a protestor has been hit down by a car. We have no further details other that the person hit has been taken to the hospital and that his/her condition is unknown."

The story takes shape in the comments that follow that simple beginning.

There are pictures of the incident available in later stories. I'll provide links in the next comments.
