'Damage was caused to the glass door of the restaurant during the incident.' Police were called to the scene and directed the group to leave. On Monday morning, police arrested three people after executing a series of search warrants.

The Richmond man was remanded in custody and appeared at Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday afternoon. 'Victoria Police is disappointed with the actions of protesters in the Melbourne CBD on Friday night,' police said in a statement. 'Victoria Police continued to support the rights of Victorians to protest peacefully but will not tolerate the kind of anti-social and violent behaviour that was witnessed this evening.' Israeli restaurant Miznon was targeted during the incident. Picture: NewsWire / Nadir Kinani Miznon, the restaurant targeted during the incident, released a statement on Tuesday saying the events on Friday had had a 'profound impact'. 'The actions of a few caused much distress to our customers and to neighbouring restaurant patrons and staff,' the statement said. 'While others have chosen to speak about who we are and decided we are a legitimate target for protest, we want to be clear about who we are, in our words. 'We are a restaurant, a place of hospitality, of warmth and welcome. Our greatest joy is to feed people from every background and viewpoint.' Despite the damage, Miznon reopened the following day. Police allege Miznon was targeted by a 'splinter group' from a larger protest calling for an independent investigation into 'Vic Pol's indiscriminate use of force'. The incident occurred on the same night as an East Melbourne synagogue was targeted in an arson attack, and three cars torched outside a Greensborough business. Police are urging anyone with further information about the incident to contact Crime Stoppers. Amelia Swan Journalist Amelia Swan joined News Corp as a cadet reporter in 2024. Amelia Swan
