Two sons of a Melbourne QC have been charged over a vicious beating in East Melbourne after the Richmond-Hawthorn qualifying final on Thursday night.
Former Xavier College students Dominic Walker and his brother Sam Walker, now aged in their 20s, were arrested on Friday night along with another man. The trio were charged with intentionally causing injury and recklessly causing injury and bailed to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates Court in December.
...
Police said there had been some “banter” between the men before it turned physical.
The two alleged victims, a 45-year-old from Mount Evelyn and a 61-year-old from Rosebud, ran and hid in a laneway.
But the two men were set upon when they tried to catch a taxi on Wellington Parade, detectives allege.
