Police Use Tear Gas Near Alice Springs Hospital
Police are attempting to subdue approximately 200 people gathered outside the Alice Springs hospital. Before his arrest, Lewis was located at a residence and required medical assistance due to being beaten. During the incident, a police vehicle was set alight and rocks were thrown at officers, who used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse a crowd. Police have taken a 47-year-old man into custody in Alice Springs, Australia. The man is accused of abducting and killing a five-year-old girl named Kuman Jai Little Baby. The child was reported missing from her home last weekend, which triggered a manhunt. The suspect was the subject of a manhunt following the disappearance. Journalist Gira Kazakov reported being subjected to tear gas while on the scene after 10 p.m. No specific cause for the crowd's anger was stated in the report.
