"Riot police have staged a major operation in central Sydney to move anti-corporate Occupy Sydney protesters out of Martin Place.

Around 200 officers swooped on the square, and protesters say around 50 people were arrested.

The remaining protesters were moved out of the square and down Elizabeth Street. A small group of protesters remain in Hyde Park."

200 police vs 50 protesters.....seems a bit excessive...
