Man arrested at Sydney Royal Easter Show for alleged DV offences
Shocking photos have captured the moment a young man was wrestled to the ground by police and security at the gates of the Sydney Royal Easter Show.
Police had spoken to the 20-year-old man at the entrance to the show in Sydney Olympic Park around 7pm on Thursday when he allegedly tried to resist arrest.
Photos show a male and a female officer desperately trying to restrain the man, who appeared to be barefoot, before managing to knock him to the ground.
A female security guard, wearing a plaster cast on her wrist, was also seen clinging to the man to help pin him down.
