I heard about that, but that may have been a case of miscommunication. The sole source is the father, who may have heard about the police "swarming" (https://twitter.com/karenlsweeney/status/1480462157993037824) the office where Djokovic and his lawyers were participating in the hearing. Most news sources have not corroborated any observation that he was arrested which would have been huge news and would elicit a "wtfwhatareyoudoingmate??" for the Australian Government.
But police have since swarmed his lawyer's office in Melbourne, where he was permitted to go during the hearing, with his family back in Serbia claiming authorities planned to 'lock him up'.
But Djokovic has not been arrested, according to government and tennis sources.
Also such a development would have been in contempt of court:
Christopher Johnson (The Globalite) @globaliteman
The Honourable Judge Kelly explicitly warned Mr. Tran (lawyer for Home Affairs) that if another minister uses "personal power" to act against #Djokovic, they must inform Judge Kelly in advance. (Thus a secret raid on @DjokerNole would be in contempt of court = jail time.)
