A journalist has been dragged away from a press event by the NSW premier's security detail.

Gladys Berejiklian was announcing an upgrade to the Brunswick Heads Surf Club on Wednesday when the man, who identified himself as a reporter, pushed his way into a photo opportunity.

The man was then manhandled by the premier's security staff and pushed into a nearby room as he shouted: "Why can't a journalist ask a question?"

In video of the incident posted to social media, the man says he works for Bay FM.

Other people can be heard shouting out: "Ask the question!"

NSW Police attended the scene although it's not clear if the man was arrested.

Comment has been sought from Bay FM which boasts it's "the most easterly station in the nation".
