Heavy police presence at CSG protest

An elderly man who fell from his wheelchair during a police arrest was left lying on the ground as workers drove their cars around him at an anti-coal seam gas blockade south of Brisbane, protesters say.

The incident happened on Wednesday morning as police from the tactical response unit set up an exclusion zone and ordered demonstrators to move away from the entrance to Arrow Energy's drilling site on a farm at Kerry, near Beaudesert.

Blockade representative Heidi Ross said an elderly protester with a broken leg asked another protester to push his wheelchair onto the entrance driveway.
