A workman has been handcuffed by police on Blackfriars Bridge after a Just Stop Oil protester was shoved to the ground in front of officers.

Footage captured at the protest showed a man, dressed in bright orange work gear, apparently attempting to remove demonstrators from the carriageway as they slowly walked backwards over the bridge.

Video shows police officers intercepting the man as he attempted to remove a second protester from the middle of the road. The incident comes just days after a man was filmed confronting Just Stop Oil supporters near the Tower of London.

Motorists caught up in the protest appeared to show support for the man as they beeped their horns in frustration at the standstill.
