Right-wing commentator Avi Yemini was thrown to the ground by police and arrested as he covered the anti-lockdown protests in Melbourne.

Yemini, 34, was reporting for fringe U.S. media outlet Rebel News and doing a piece to camera in Albert Park on Saturday as police clashed with protesters.

As he was recounting the day's events, a police commander suddenly pointed him out and ordered officers to arrest him.

'This bloke here is not here for any purposeful reason, I want him under arrest right now,' the officer, a superintendent, said while grabbing his microphone.
