A man accused of racially aggravated assault after he allegedly restrained three young Indigenous children with cable ties has pleaded not guilty. Matej Radelic, 45, appeared in Broome Magistrates Court on Monday charged with three counts of common assault in circumstances of aggravation or racial aggravation. He allegedly forcibly restrained a six-year-old girl and two boys aged seven and eight at a home in the northern Western Australian town in March.
A video of the incident went viral on social media, with the children allegedly forced to sit in the sun as they cried and pleaded for their release. Police were called to a Cable Beach home when a neighbour reported seeing children swimming in a pool. Ten minutes later police allegedly received a call from Radelic telling them he had “restrained” three children for allegedly causing damage.
