Iranian Australians tried to stop the bus, but the police held them back.
Five members of the Iranian women’s football team have taken refuge in a safe house in Australia following their elimination in the Asian Cup, sources have told the BBC.
The women had been due to fly home, but supporters had raised fears for their safety after the team declined to sing the national anthem ahead of their first match against South Korea last week.
