Violent clashes broke out outside a hospital in Alice Springs, Australia, following the arrest of Jefferson Lewis, 47, accused of murdering a five-year-old girl named Kumanjayi Little Baby. The angry crowd beat Lewis in an act of vigilante justice, leading to police officers being attacked with rocks and sticks. The incident sparked violent clashes with police officers and set a police van on fire. The relationship between the Northern Territory (NT) Police and the indigenous community is often tense, with a Coroner's inquest in 2025 finding "clear evidence of entrenched systemic racism within NT Police". The Albanese government responded to the report by acknowledging higher rates of homicide, family, domestic, child incarceration, and promising changes to act upon a raft of stringent monitoring of potential offenders.
