*✊Protesters Clash Outside 👻Milo Yiannopoulos Event in 🇦🇺Australia📹:*

Two people have been arrested after protesters clashed outside an Australian event hosted by ultra-conservative figure Milo Yiannopoulos. Riot police moved in when tensions between opposing protest groups escalated in Melbourne on Monday night. Five police officers suffered minor injuries - one was hit by a rock.

Protesters from Campaign Against Racism and Fascism and opposing groups, including the anti-Islam Reclaim Australia, were involved in the street skirmish. Some brandished sticks and threw glass bottles. Police used capsicum spray in a bid to quell the confrontation. They said at least 330 people took part in the protests. "Both sides need to have a good hard look in the mirror at themselves," Victoria Police assistant commissioner Stephen Leane said on Tuesday.

The self-described "supervillain" is regularly associated with the alt-right, a disparate nationalistic group that is outspoken against so-called political correctness and feminism - although Mr Yiannopoulos has said he does not consider himself part of it. In February, Mr Yiannopoulos lost a book deal after footage showed him discussing the merits of gay relationships between adults and boys as young as 13. He denied ever endorsing paedophilia.
