The video of the incident was broadcast live on the Australian morning show “Sunrise.” Brace said to 7News,“We’ve just had to run about a block as police moved in, we’ve been fired at with rubber bullets, my cameraman has been hit.”
Morrison has now reportedly asked the Australian embassy in D.C. to investigate and report on how the country of Australia can convey its “strong concerns” with local authorities in Washington, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
“You heard us yelling that we were media but they don’t care. They are being indiscriminate at the moment,” Brace said according to 7News.
