flag An Aboriginal teen was wrongly arrested at gunpoint in Canberra after police mistook him for a suspect; officers apologized, but advocates demand accountability.

flag An Aboriginal teenager in Canberra was pulled from a bus at gunpoint and arrested on November 12 after police mistakenly believed he matched the description of a person with a knife at a shopping center. flag Officers, responding to multiple reports, removed the 17-year-old from the bus with guns drawn, handcuffed him, and slammed him to the ground, causing pain and difficulty breathing. flag Despite realizing they had the wrong person shortly after, officers still searched him. flag The family and Indigenous advocates condemned the incident as racial profiling and police brutality, demanding an investigation, suspension of the officers, access to body camera footage, and a formal acknowledgment of bias. flag ACT Police apologized for the distress caused, stating officers acted to prevent harm in a public space, and confirmed a complaint has been submitted to the Australian Federal Police for review.
