NSW Police arrest man for alleged Pitt St pub Nazi salute

A 68-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly making a Nazi salute while out at a pub on Friday night.

NSW Police took the man into custody after he allegedly made the prohibited gesture about 7.10pm at a pub on Sydney’s Pitt St.

A security guard at the hotel flagged down police officers.

“Police were told a 68-year-old man had allegedly performed Nazi salutes inside the venue and did not leave when he was asked,” the police said on Saturday morning.

“The man was arrested a short time later and was taken to Day Street Police Station.”

The police have charged the man with excluded person fail to leave premises when required, knowingly display by public act a Nazi symbol without excuse and make a gesture in a public place that is a Nazi salute.

The man was refused bail and will appear at Parramatta Local Court today.

Multiple states have banned Nazi salutes, which embodies Adolf Hitler’s terror regime from the 1930s and 1940s.

The federal government outlawed the gesture in January this year.
