July 23, 2025

WA Police have launched an investigation after a woman was filmed hitting the ground during an incident with an officer in Broome.

Corrina Sebastian said she had called police after being attacked by two other women.

A grainy video has been circulated on social media showing Ms Sebastian falling to the ground after an interaction with an officer.

“I got mobbed … that’s when I fought my way out, I got my mobile phone and rang the cops,” she told the ABC.

“That’s the last thing I remember, it’s talking to the cops and that’s it.

“I don’t recall anything after that.”

Kimberley police said the investigation was ongoing and could not make any further comment.
