A Melbourne doctor has alleged police assaulted her after she sought to help a barely conscious and bleeding man who was surrounded by officers in April 2018 — and that they then covered up the brutality. Kim Proudlove, a stepmother of three who specialises in helping people with brain injuries, has spoken publicly about her ordeal and frustration with the Victoria Police complaints system. Dr Proudlove does not fit the profile of the Victorians most likely to report an adverse experience with police — vulnerable or marginalised people less able to navigate the police complaint system. She is an experienced doctor with a track record of helping people in need, including a cyclist and pedestrian badly injured in traffic accidents.

A Victorian man has admitted to slashing an off-duty paramedic with a box cutter during a violent crime spree which ended when he was spotted loitering outside a nearby police station carrying the weapon. Adam Bardic, 48, of Capel Sound, attacked the woman as she buckled her two young children into their car seats after picking up fish and chips for dinner in Rosebud, on the Mornington Peninsula, on her way home from work last July. The then-47-year-old was in uniform when Bardic grabbed her shoulder and pressed his arm across her neck to pin her against her car before slashing her twice across her chest. The box cutter sliced through her jumper and shirt to inflict a wound about 15 centimetres long, according to court documents. According to a police summary, Bardic “walked casually away” as the woman yelled for help and compressed her chest wound. She called triple zero and was taken to hospital where she received 15 stitches. The woman told police she believed she might have treated her attacker about 18 months earlier, but was not certain. Bardic, who was seen inhaling from a plastic bag, had earlier tried to get into another car parked behind his victim’s, but the driver had locked the doors before he had been able to gain entry, according to court documents.
