A man stuck in a Melbourne 'quarantine' hotel captures the ruckus between a neighbouring prisoner and guards/police. It seems the man was scheduled for release but was then told he would have to stay longer, causing him to have a mental breakdown. A voice can be heard telling the man "calm down or you gonna get f**king gassed!"
The man filming also describes what it's like enduring temporary hotel imprisonment under the guise of 'quarantine':
"I feel for this guy, this is sh*t, this is hotel quarantine ... People go crazy in hotel quarantine, I relate to it big time.
I'm supposed to be released at 11.59pm on Tuesday night ... I'm scared that after spending 14 days here, 338 hours, in one room with no air, and then they tell you you can't leave, I reckon I would go off as well.
People can't understand the insanity of police hotel quarantine when you can't get any f**king air in here at all. It's madness, it's absolute madness."
