Two people have been arrested after a man’s body was pulled from the Yarra River in Melbourne’s CBD earlier this month.
The body of a 22-year-old Clyde North man was found in the river about 4pm on October 1.
Police alleged the man left a licensed venue about 1am on 30 September on Flinders Street in Melbourne’s CBD.

“He then had a conversation with a group of males where it is believed an altercation occurred,” a police spokesperson said.
“Investigators do not believe they were known to each other.”
Police allege the man was punched and elbowed in the head, before he ran from the scene. He was chased by two of the men, one of whom brandished a machete.
He then jumped into the Yarra River, just before 2.50am, in what police alleged was an effort to evade his pursuers, managing to scramble onto a jetty, before once again falling into the water and drowning.
On Monday, police announced two warrants had been executed at a home in Collingwood and Melton South.
An 18-year-old Collingwood man and a 16-year-old Melton South boy were both arrested and interviewed by police.
The pair were both released pending further enquiries.
A machete was also seized from the Collingwood address.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
