Violent clashes erupt at Sydney protest

Nine people have been charged following violent clashes between thousands of protesters and police at Sydney's Town Hall during a demonstration against the Israeli President's visit to Australia. Video footage shows police repeatedly punching protesters and using pepper spray, while officers attempted to prevent demonstrators from marching to Darling Harbour where President Herzog was attending a Bondi terror attack memorial. NSW Police Commissioner and Premier have defended police actions, while protest organisers and Greens MPs have condemned the response as police brutality, with 27 arrests made and multiple injuries reported.
