Police have arrested two people and released images of more people they are hoping to identify as part of the investigation into a protest in Melbourne last month where police were allegedly assaulted.
Detectives from the North West Metro Regional Crime Squad have been investigating the protest which occurred on Saturday 19 October in Melbourne.
It's alleged a counter protest group attended and hurled rocks, glass bottles and rotten fruit at police.
Two men were arrested this week as part of a series of warrants executed by detectives.
This includes a 21-year-old Port Melbourne man who was charged on Tuesday with two counts of assault police and two counts of hinder police.
A 56-year-old from Kilsyth was also charged on Tuesday with assault police and hinder police.
Both men were bailed to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates' Court on 26 May.
The investigation has now led to a total of three people being charged, with police continuing to seek the public's assistance to identify those involved.
Images of six other people have been released who police are hoping to identify as part of their enquiries.
There are now images of 19 people in total police are hoping to identify.
Anyone with information about the people depicted in the images released is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at crimestoppersvic.com.au.
