Police are investigating the alleged assault of a woman at Exhibition Park on Thursday morning.

The assault took place in the office of the Canberra Harness Racing Club.

The Canberra Times understands the woman who was allegedly assaulted had both her wrists broken in the attack.

ACT Policing confirmed they were investigating an assault after a report was received on Thursday afternoon.

"ACT Policing received a report that a woman had been injured in an alleged assault in the offices of the Canberra Harness Racing Club at Exhibition Park In Canberra (EPIC) that morning," an ACT Policing spokesman said.

"The victim required hospital treatment for non-life-threatening injuries."

Protesters from the so-called Convoy to Canberra group have been camping at Exhibition Park since last week.

The group originally set up an illegal campsite near the National Library but they were moved on by police last Friday.

They will need to leave Exhibition Park on Sunday.

The protesters are made up of a number of loosely affiliated groups, such as sovereign citizens, anti-vaccine conspiracists and evangelical groups, but have been demonstrating together against vaccine mandates.
