Victoria Premier Jacinta Allan has stated Melbourne is perfectly safe, despite some recent incidents coming out of the city's CBD.

This attack came days after a woman was stabbed in the chest near Spencer St in broad daylight. 

Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson says the police union has voiced concerns - and is calling for updated legislation regarding protests.
