Melbourne CBD Attempted Robbery: Man Charged by Police

Swift-responding police arrested a man after an attempted robbery and assault in Melbourne's CBD last night.

Police were called after a man initially boarded a tram where he allegedly unsuccessfully attempted to rob a man/woman before exiting at Princes Bridge about 5.30pm.

It's alleged the man then assaulted four people with a glass bottle, before he was arrested at the scene without incident.

A 67-year-old Warneet man, a 56-year-old Collingwood woman, a 24-year-old Kennington woman and a 46-year-old Hoppers Crossing woman were all taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The 27-year-old South Melbourne man was charged with four counts of recklessly cause injury.

He has been remanded in custody to appear before the Melbourne Magistrate's Court later today.
