Online Edition
A man has been arrested on the roof of Victoria's government house after a major security breach on Monday morning.
The man, who is reported to be suffering from mental health issues, was carried off the roof of the building, which is the home of Victorian Governor Linda Dessau, on a stretcher and treated for minor injuries.
He was arrested by Victoria Police Critical Incident Response Team officers at 8 a.m. local time on Monday, 15 minutes after he gained access to the roof.
The building has been put into lockdown as authorities were investigating how he was able to get past security on the premises.
Governor Dessau, who acts as the state's representative of Queen Elizabeth II, was not at government house at the time of the incident.
A spokesperson confirmed she was in Singapore on an official visit.
"The governor is appreciative of the swift response from emergency services," the spokesperson said in a statement.
