Three men have been arrested after allegedly performing a Nazi salute outside Sydney’s Jewish Museum.
Guardian Australia reported police were called to the museum in Darlinghurst before noon and arrested the men.
A NSW Police spokesperson said the men have been taken to the Kings Cross Police Station.
