A man in a white button-up shirt and suit trousers puts his hands in the air as a police officer grabs him. He appears to steady himself on the officer's shoulders. He's then punched multiple times by multiple officers. People watching on scream. It's one of the first violent acts that take place as New South Wales police attempt to disperse protesters demonstrating in central Sydney on Monday against the visit of the Israeli president, Isaac Herzog.

Demonstrators risk arrest if they join a protest march late on Monday, organised by the Palestine Action Group from Sydney Town Hall to New South Wales Parliament, which falls in an area authorities have designated as a special protected area during Herzog's visit. Palestine Action Group failed in a legal challenge in a Sydney court on Monday against the restrictions placed on the demonstration.
