Dimitri Moskovich - also known as 'Mr Bondi' - is wrestled to the ground by New South Wales Police officers.

Mr Moskovich pleaded not guilty in July last year to charges of resisting arrest and failing to comply with a notice in a public place.

"This court has never seen a person less guilty than me," Mr Moskovich said at the time.

Police have agreed to pay Mr Moskovich's $25,000 legal fees.

The Bondi local now plans to sue the force for unlawful arrest and assault.
