Man arrested by police after wearing swastika shirt outside antisemitism royal commission [View all]

A man has been arrested after wearing a T-shirt with a swastika on it while standing outside the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion in Sydney.

Police approached the man about 11am after he was seen loitering near the venue wearing the white shirt emblazoned with a blue swastika with a Star of David inside.

It also had the slogan: "Antisemitism. Proud to be accused. Speak up!"

Police initially issued the 68-year-old man with a move-on order after patrolling officers saw him in "clothing which allegedly displayed an offensive slogan on the front".

About 2:45pm, the man attended Manly Police Station where he was arrested by officers.

The man remains in custody while inquiries continue.

Revolting. There's children and traumatised people who are giving evidence at the Royal Commission who would have been exposed to that. I hope they throw the book at the dickhead.
