An Iconic Sydney man notorious for holding signs of peace and love has been injured during a police arrest attempt.

Mr Lim is well-known for exhibiting social and political messages while wearing a sandwich board around Sydney with his dog as his companion.

A social media video shows footage that officers attempted to detain the Sydney Activist Mr Danny Lim in a shopping complex on George Street in Sydney.

The 78-year-old man was taken to hospital after footage shows Mr Lim being forced headfirst into the ground by police officers.

Mr Lim yelled “let me go” as the two officers grabbed his arm, ultimately tripping him and causing him to fall onto the tiled floor.

“An independent review has been launched, which will examine the actions of police during the incident” NSW police said.
