Hundreds of anti-lockdown protesters have massed in Melbourne for a second day, with some throwing fruit at police after raiding market stalls.

About 150 protesters chanting 'Freedom' and 'Power to the people' were outnumbered by officers at Queen Victoria Market on Sunday.

Footage of violent scuffles and officers on horseback moving through a group inside the market has been posted online.

'There were a few tense moments when protesters started grabbing fruit and throwing it at police,' photographer Erik Anderson said from the scene.

Protesters yelled 'this is not a police state' and 'you've got to be on the right side of history.'

Mr Anderson estimated that police had arrested dozens of protesters.

Huge crowds of protesters were filmed marching down empty streets in Melbourne, calling for Daniel Andrews to ease the city's draconian lockdown restrictions.

One man was spotted kicking a police horse as officers attempted to calm crowds hurling abuse at them as they rode through the markets.
