Self-proclaimed neo-Nazi leader 'taking advantage of opportunities' to get his name in the press

Neo-Nazi leader Thomas Sewell was arrested outside court today in the heart of Melbourne.

Sewell was bundled into the back of a paddy wagon for allegedly unleashing violence on an Indigenous camp after a weekend of ugly protests around the country.

Earlier today the serial pest hijacked a press conference being held by Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan.

Jeff Schoep, who was once America's most notorious neo-Nazi, believes Sewell is taking advantage of opportunities to get his name in the media.
