Prominent Indigenous elder Mick Mundine has been arrested over a historical child sexual assault allegation, the ABC understands.
Sex Crimes Squad detectives arrested Aboriginal Housing Company chief executive Mr Mundine at Redfern in Sydney's inner south about 7am on Thursday.
Police said the 79-year-old has been taken to Newtown Police Station for questioning.
Police said Strike Force Millersburg was set up in December last year to investigate allegations against Mr Mundine that he sexually assaulted a 15-year-old at Redfern in 1986.
