One man has been arrested and two police officers injured after crowds gathered outside Novak Djokovic’s lawyers’ office in Melbourne to celebrate the world’s number one male tennis player’s win over the Australian federal court turned aggressive on Monday night.

Supporters of the tennis star turned aggressive after unconfirmed reports appeared in Victorian media that Australian authorities were allegedly seeking to arrest the Serbian athlete, despite the federal court ordering his immediate release from immigration detention.
