A lack of communication between officers contributed to the violent disruption of a group of Muslim worshippers at a protest<\/a> against the visit of the Israeli president, Isaac Herzog, New South Wales police say.<\/p>\n

Footage of a group of Muslims being shoved and dragged by police while performing the sunset prayer outside Sydney<\/a> town hall on Monday sparked widespread outrage.<\/p>\n

NSW police say a senior officer had agreed to let the praying finish before moving the men on.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe senior officer was attempting to relay that message to other officers who were carrying out a move-on direction during what was a noisy, dynamic and fast-moving situation,\u201d a spokeswoman said on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, some worshippers were moved on before the message from the senior officer was able to be relayed.\u201d<\/p>\n
