BY TANGIORA HINAKI

Police are investigating a confronting incident that unfolded in Broome today involving a six-year-old girl and a seven-year-old boy.

 Officers were initially called to a home on Conkerberry Road, Cable Beach, about 2.15pm for a reported trespass incident.

 Officers responded quickly, and when they arrived they found two children had been physically restrained. Officers called St John Ambulance officers to assess the children, who have since been reunited with family members.

 A man has been taken into custody and is assisting with inquiries.

 Police are working closely with the affected families, and encourage community members to allow officers to thoroughly investigate the matter so that the full circumstances can be established.

Ngaarda Media’s Tangiora Hinaki spoke to Yawuru woman, Asharahni Shoveller who filmed the incident.
