Hannah Thomas had all charged against her dropped.

Lawyers for the state government have admitted a police officer battered former Greens candidate Hannah Thomas at a pro-Palestinian protest in Sydney's south-west last year, court documents have revealed.

Thomas brought a civil claim against the officer and the state government after she was hospitalised and required a number of surgeries as a result of the incident outside a manufacturing business in Belmore in June.

All charges against her were later dropped and a police officer was charged with recklessly causing grievous bodily harm.
