Palestinian Australian sues NSW police for alleged assault during Herzog rally

Eyad Shadid filed a civil lawsuit against the New South Wales government on Wednesday. He alleges police officers punched him while he assisted a prayer group during a protest against Isaac Herzog. The lawsuit follows intense scrutiny after police used pepper spray on protesters earlier this year. The February demonstrations sparked calls for official resignations and a watchdog investigation into police conduct. Legal experts suggested that the state's power to suppress protests made such conflicts nearly inevitable.
