The owners of an organic grocery store have been arrested in a violent confrontation with police over their refusal to allow mask use inside their store for 'hygiene reasons'.
Video of the confrontation on Thursday afternoon in the New South Wales town of Bowral showed the female owner of the store being bundled into the back of a police van by two police officers.
When the male owner of the store stepped in to object to her arrest, he was grabbed by officers, slammed into the back of the van and then wrestled to the ground.
On the store's Instagram page, which contains a number of posts opposing mask use and questioning Covid-19 vaccines, the owners explained the strife had begun inside the store when police were called about the shop's opposition to mask use - stated on a sign outside.
