Because of this, the police officer's competencies are limited and an investigation is under way, reports Guardian.
One of the young man's relatives, who is otherwise a member of the indigenous community, announced that he was in the park, which is less than 100m from his home.
According to him, the police had no reason to arrest him.
Police officers appear in the census, conversing with a group that included this young man shortly before his arrest.
The policeman said: “Open your ears”, which someone replied: “I don't have to open my ears, I'm gonna break your jaw, brother”
The policeman then began arresting the young man by laying him down.
A relative of the young man said he was sent to the station before being taken to the hospital.
About five o'clock in the afternoon, police officers patrolled Word Park in Sarah Hills and then spoke to a teenage group. A 17-year-old boy allegedly threatened the police officer before being arrested and taken to the station,”, police said in a statement.
Australia fears this issue could escalate, as happened in the United States after the nearly American murder of George Floyd.
