Frustrated bystander stops Just Stop Oil activist from vandalising MI5 building in London
A Just Stop Oil protester was left covered in orange paint after a furious passer-by intervened to stop them vandalising an MI5 building.
Environment activists used fire extinguishers to spray paint at the Secret Intelligence Service’s headquarters in London on Monday, as well as at the Home Office, the Bank of England and the News Corp offices.
In footage posted on social media by Just Stop Oil, a member of the public can be seen intervening in the activism outside MI5.
The man tussles with an activist, as he tries to wrench a paint-spraying device from their hands.
At one point, the man appears to shove the protester and can be seen pulling off their baseball cap which he throws to the ground.
The protester continues trying to spray the building, and both they and the passer-by are too left covered in orange paint.
Londoners have been warned by the Met not to “directly intervene” with disruptive Just Stop Oil protesters.
Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist urged people not to take the law into their own hands after activists blocking roads in London were dragged out of the way in heated scenes on Saturday.
