Heavily armed police arrested seven men in Sydney’s south-west yesterday after receiving information that a “violent act was possibly being planned”. <\/p>\n
Images from the scene showed officers in camouflage with guns pinning the group of men to the ground and handcuffing them. <\/p>\n
The dramatic incident unfolded on the corner of George and Campbell streets in the suburb of Liverpool, just across the road from a busy Westfield shopping centre. <\/p>\n
Police had not identified any connection to Sunday’s horrific shooting at Bondi Beach, where gunmen killed 15 people in an Islamic-state-inspired terrorist attack targeting a Jewish celebration. <\/p>\n
According to New South Wales police, tactical officers had responded to information received that a “violent act was possibly being planned”.<\/p>\n
“Police subsequently intercepted two cars as part of the investigation,” police said.<\/p>\n
“As investigations continue, seven men are assisting police with their inquiries.” <\/p>\n
Other footage from the scene showed a vehicle with what appeared to be damage from a crash. <\/p>\n
A man was seen on a stretcher with a bloodied face and bandages around his face. <\/p>\n
