No arrests in violent Vic expo clashes

No charges will be laid following violent clashes between protest groups outside a Halal Expo in Melbourne.

One man, believed to be affiliated with an anti multiculturalism group, was hospitalised with facial injuries when the two groups clashed at the Melbourne Showgrounds on Sunday afternoon.

It is believed his right-wing group, Party For Freedom, were protesting outside the expo when the far-left anti-fascist Antifa arrived and chaos ensued.

Police say no one was arrested at that event or an anti-racism rally held at Federation Square later on the same afternoon.
