Activists from the Just Stop Oil environmental group were dragged away by angry members of the public after launching a 15th day of protests by blocking a busy road in east London.

Shortly after midday 29 supporters of the group sat down on the tarmac at the junction of Shoreditch High Street and Great Eastern Street causing gridlock on the surrounding roads.

But frustrated motorists who were caught up in the road chaos reacted by physically dragging some of the activists out of the way.
