Video taking off 80x its usual first day

A young woman tackled by police, now facing an interference charge, on True Crime Australia

The short follows up on a viral arrest clip, and it passed 160,000 views before its first day was out.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 191,523 views a day, 80 times a normal first day on this channel (2,408).

The follow-up drew the crowd. The arrest itself had already spread as a viral video, police officers tackling a young woman. This short from True Crime Australia picks the story up at the next step: the charge she now faces for interfering with police.

The description keeps it brief. A 21-year-old student is facing misdemeanor charges after the incident with police. Neither the title nor the description names her, says where it happened or explains what led up to it, and the short stays with that one development.

Within 18 hours it had passed 167,000 views. A short on this channel usually gathers around two and a half thousand on its whole first day.

It arrived in a busy stretch for the channel, which describes its work as telling the stories of people affected by crime without sensationalizing them. The same days brought a report on the killing of alleged mafia figure John Latorre in his Melbourne driveway, and a further look at Christa Pike's case in Tennessee, a story that, as we reported here, had already brought the channel an unusually large audience the week before. None of those uploads has come close to the tackle story's audience.
