Chaos in Melbourne's CBD

Horror arrived on the streets of Melbourne after a car mounted the footpath and mowed down pedestrians. Three people were killed in the incident.

Tamarah Inglis from Canterbury was on Melbourne's Bourke St, the scene of the destruction, when she heard what sounded like two gun shots.
She then saw people running towards her, and critical response cars with sirens blasting racing into the area.

An upturned pram lies amid the carnage in Melbourne.

"Because of everything going on in the world at the moment, I thought someone was shooting. Initially I froze and then I just ran," Inglis said.
"After a little bit I had to take my high heels off so I could run faster."
She then hid with a group of strangers in an office building two streets over and called loved ones.

Inglis called her husband at work in Western Australia, couldn't get hold of him, then her sister in Perth and finally her boss.
Her boss told her that a friend had been hit by the car, and was undergoing surgery.
An hour and a half later she got back to the office to find everyone by the window looking down at the scene. The car was pretty smashed up, Inglis said.

Ambulance Victoria say they are treating 20 people for injuries, some serious.

Deloitte had already lined up counsellors for staff members to speak to. The woman was walking alongside two other colleagues when she was hit, Inglis said.
"It's not been a nice day. I think we are all still in shock as to what happened."
Another eyewitness, Sharn Baylis form Adelaide, said she gave CPR to a young Asian man in his 20s who appeared to have suffered severe head injuries.

She said onlookers tried to save the man but he died on the footpath outside Bardot on Bourke Street after being run over by the car before paramedics could help him.
"There were massive internal injuries, he was bleeding heavily but the head injury alone probably would have killed him," she said.

She ran over to help the man after watching the car drive down Bourke Street mall driving in a straight line as it slammed into pedestrians.
