A man who was charged with throwing a dart at a police officer's head is one of four people banned from going anywhere near the G20 in Brisbane.

Police have taken the unusual step of naming 47-year-old Gavin George Begbie because they have not been able to find him to give him the paperwork that says he has been banned.

He joins three others on the list of people banned from going near the leaders summit.

Begbie landed himself in hot water when he went to an anti-APEC rally in Sydney in 2007 wearing two pairs of overalls, a skydiving helmet, goggles and a balaclava that covered his face.

He ended up facing 12 charges after allegedly throwing a dart that lodged in the skull of Chief Inspector Mark Death, and violently swinging a metal pole at officers who attempted to subdue him, injuring three other officers.

Four people have been declared prohibited persons, meaning they cannot go into the restricted zone covering the city during the weekend gathering of world leaders.

Three of them will not be named because police have been able to serve notices on them, advising them of the bans.
