Extinction Rebellion protesters were dragged off the top of a Tube train and attacked by angry commuters this morning.
The battered and bruised protester was eventually helped onto his feet, but he was arrested by police, according to witnesses.Footage shows the mob on the platform berating the protesters and then cheering as commuters steal their banner. A witness told Mirror Online: "The protesters used a portable ladder to mount the train. I had arrived via the DLR to catch the Jubilee and over the tannoy the announcement was for people to leave the station."People were asking for them to get down. People became restless and tried to grab their legs.
Jubilee line service was temporarily halted between North Greenwich and Stratford stations, and Canning Town was shut due to the stunt and the attack. British Transport Police said there had been four arrests so far at Stratford and Canning Town as the protests caused severe delays on the Jubilee line and the Docklands Light Railway .
"Specialist Protest Removal Teams remain at Shadwell station, and are working to resume services as soon as possible."This is dangerous, not only for protesters but for commuters.XR protesters continued demonstrations on Thursday and ignored a police warning not to target the Tube as part of its protests demanding action on climate change.
BTP said they had engaged with XR members to prevent the planned 'disruptive and potentially criminal' action on the transport network. Lawyers representing the climate protesters will argue in a preliminary session that a full hearing of the case should happen 'as a matter of urgency'.
