Man arrested at Sydney Royal Easter Show for alleged DV offences

Shocking footage captured the moment police and security tackled a young man to the ground outside the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

Police spoke to the 20-year-old man at the entrance to the show in Sydney Olympic Park on Thursday about 7pm when he allegedly attempted to resist arrest.

Photos show an officer and a woman desperately trying to restrain the man, who appeared to be barefoot, before they managed to tackle him to the ground.

A female security guard wearing a cast on her wrist was also seen holding on to the man to help restrain him.

The scene unfolded in front of the surprised attendees of the Easter Show.

NSW Police said the 20-year-old was “wanted on an outstanding warrant in relation to domestic violence offences”.

“The man allegedly resisted arrest before being taken into custody,” they said in a statement.

“He was taken to the Auburn Police Station where the outstanding warrant was executed.”

The 20-year-old was refused bail and is due to appear in court on Friday.
