Sydney Islam Protests

During my walk around Sydney yesterday, I walked past Hyde Park, Town Hall, and Martin Place in the Sydney CBD. At the time I passed through, the city was very quiet because of being a Saturday.

As the day went on, there was a protest over an anti-Islamic film. On my way walking back, I noticed a number of police cars and a helicopter flying overhead though I wasn't entirely sure of what had happened.

The video below is from YouTube and was recorded yesterday.

The areas they walk by are the same ways I walked, and had timing been any different, I likely would have seen the whole thing unfold.
