Police were called to a bus stop in Millers Road, near Altona Gate Shopping Centre, where two women were involved in an altercation. A Victoria Police spokeswoman said the armed woman refused to co-operate with police, who then used capsicum spray. When that failed to have any effect, they used a taser gun on the woman. She was taken to hospital for treatment.
