A fare evasion incident at Canterbury East train station led to police intervention, but no arrests were made; a fixed penalty notice was issued instead. Meanwhile, a disturbing incident at Aubin Grove station in Western Australia has sparked outrage after CCTV footage showed a transit officer placing a cyclist in a headlock and slamming him to the ground, resulting in a broken collarbone. A report by the Corruption and Crime Commission (CCC) criticized the Public Transport Authority (PTA) for its excessive use of force during the encounter, which occurred in February 2023. The PTA defended its officers' actions, alleging the man was a known fare dodger, but the CCC found their response to be unjustified. The report highlighted systemic issues within the PTA, revealing over 170 recorded incidents of force and recommending a review of their policies. This incident raises broader concerns about the handling of fare enforcement and the appropriateness of force used by transit authorities.
