A prominent member of a neo-Nazi group has been arrested by the Australian Federal Police (AFP), the leader of the group says.

National Socialist Network leader Thomas Sewell told a neo-Nazi group chat that Joel Davis, who spoke at a rally outside NSW parliament earlier this month, had been arrested in Sydney.

The AFP did not identify Mr Davis but confirmed it had "undertaken operational activity in Bondi" on Thursday.

"There is no ongoing risk to the community," a spokesperson said.

The AFP declined to elaborate on the investigation.

In a Telegram message last week seen by the ABC, Mr Davis invited members of a group chat to "rhetorically rape" federal independent Wentworth MP Allegra Spender with a link to an X post about the group's gathering in Sydney's CBD earlier this month.
