Police allege a man is injured after an attempt to blow up an ATM at Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Market goes wrong. Multiple reports say the incident occurred on Wednesday morning at the inner-city market. Authorities allege the man was part of a group of three people, including two accomplices, who tried to damage the ATM using an explosive device. In the reported sequence of events, the blast injures one man, who is then taken to hospital under police guard. The other two people are not reported as having the same injuries in the available coverage. Police are investigating what caused the explosion and whether the device was intended to destroy the ATM and access cash. The case is described in the sources as an alleged plot that “backfires” after the attempt results in the operator’s injuries rather than a successful outcome. The incident also draws attention to the risk and potential consequences of attempted attacks on cash machines in public areas.
