Clashes with police as protests erupt in Sydney and Melbourne against Herzog’s visit

Police arrest and use pepper spray on people demonstrating against the visit of Israeli president Isaac Herzog, who is in Australia until 12 February in response to the Bondi beach terrorist attack in December. The violent and chaotic scenes in Sydney came after thousands gathered lawfully near the Town Hall on Monday evening



 before attempting to march to state parliament in defiance of a NSW law that effectively bans protesters from marching in designated areas. 

A man is detained on the ground by two police officers.
