Sydney should brace itself for an unprecedented level of violence during Saturday's APEC protest march, the police riot squad chief warned in court today.
The "grave concerns'' of police were aired as they faced off with the Stop Bush Coalition in the Supreme Court this morning over its planned marching route.
The court action sees police opposing the coalition's original protest route from Town Hall, along George Street, through Martin Place and on to Hyde Park.
However, with a police barrier to be erected at George and King Streets, the court heard that this route would, in any case, be blocked to the marchers.
