WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT. This is the horrific moment a white SUV allegedly driven by an Afghan immigrant drug addict 'deliberately' ploughs through a crowd of shoppers in Melbourne's city centre during the afternoon peak hour rush. Confronting CCTV footage, obtained by 7 News, shows the Suzuki Grand Vitara four-wheel drive pull away from traffic and speed directly into unsuspecting pedestrians outside busy Flinders Street Station. Shocked bystanders can be seen pointing in disbelief on the street as dozens of people - including a young boy and an 83-year-old man - are mowed down by the rampaging driver. The driver behind the wheel of the SUV, with P-plates, has been identified by the Herald Sun as Saeed Noori.

Police are hunting an armed bandit who robbed a group of people at gunpoint before brutally bashing an elderly man. Footage shows the thug point a gun at the heads of his victims during a late-night ambush in Sunshine, in Melbourne's west, on Tuesday.

Intimate Prince Harry and Meghan Markle portraits released

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have released their official engagement portraits (above), almost a month after announcing their plan to get married next year. The two photographs were taken by celebrated fashion and celebrity photographer Alexi Lubomirski, who has snapped everyone from Julia Roberts to Angelina Jolie. The pictures were taken earlier this week at Frogmore House, a private royal residence in the grounds of Windsor Castle. It is where Harry’s cousin, Peter Phillips, son of the Queen’s daughter, Princess Anne, held his wedding reception with Canadian Autumn Kelly in 2008, and has been tipped privately as a possible venue for Harry and Meghan’s own bash. Intriguingly it was at that party that Harry introduced his then girlfriend, Chelsy Davy, to his grandmother, the Queen, for the first time.

Meghan Markle, 36, made a statement in the £56,000 couture gown as she posed at Frogmore House, a private royal residence in the grounds of Windsor Castle - but not everyone was sold on the choice.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have today released their official engagement portraits taken at Frogmore House, and they come as a strak contrast from those taken of Kate and William.

While the designer is remaining tight-lipped, Meghan's choice of jumper for her engagement shoot could represent a major coup for Mrs Beckham thanks to the 'Meghan effect' on clothing sales.

Judi James told MailOnline the couple look 'so in love' in the three new official royal portraits viewers might fell like they're 'intruding' on a private moment and there is 'high levels of sexual attraction'.

From stiff to schmaltzy in 100 years

Fast-forward to less than a century later and photographs of Prince Harry and his fiancee Meghan Markle could not be more different. As these fascinating photographs document, Royal protocol has dramatically changed over recent years with the first engagement embrace captured in Prince Charles' hug with Diane in 1981.

It is more like a publicity shoot for a steamy Hollywood movie — Fifty Shades Of Windsor? — rather than the engagement photographs of a Prince and his bride-to-be, writes Sarah Vine.

The moment hero off-duty police officer leapt INTO Melbourne rampage driver's SUV moments after the Afghan immigrant, 32, 'ploughed into a crowd of pedestrians' leaving 19 injured

An injured off-duty police officer has been hailed a hero for arresting a rampaging driver in Melbourne's city centre during the afternoon peak hour rush. The officer wrestled with 32-year-old Afghan immigrant (inset) moments after he crashed a white Suzuki Grand Vitara four-wheel drive into terrified pedestrians outside busy Flinders Street Station (centre). As the gallant officer recovered in hospital from a shoulder injury, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews praised him for rushing to the SUV just 15 seconds after it crashed into a bollard, ending a rampage that ran down more than a dozen people. 'We would be right to single him out for special praise for the way in which he instinctively came to the aid of others in the protection of public order and potentially avoiding so much other carnage,' he said on Thursday night, adding the carnage was 'an act of evil'.

'He ran, was grabbed, and arrested,' Mr Patton told 3AW . 'We don’t believe he was involved in this matter at all. His footage may be valuable.'

Mom tells how she forgave son who murdered daughter

Charity Lee was at her waitressing job in Abilene, Texas, on February 5, 2007, when police arrived to tell her her four-year-old daughter Ella was dead. The child had been stabbed 17 times by her brother, Paris, who was 13 at the time. Paris picked up the knife and attacked his half-sister as she slept in her bed after convincing their babysitter to go home. He then called 911 and admitted to the killing. He later told his mother that he carried out the murder to 'destroy' her in revenge. He was angry, he said, that she had briefly relapsed into drug use years earlier after getting herself clean. Paris is 24 now and remains behind bars in Texas where his mother, who has since had another baby, visits him.
