A documentary filmmaker says he and a press photographer were arrested by police while covering a Just Stop Oil protest.

Rich Felgate says this footage shows his and Tom Bowles's arrests on Monday (7 October) on a footbridge over the M25.

"I'm sorry officer you can't arrest me. I'm here as a member of the press," Mr Bowles can be heard telling a policeman as he was arrested.

Mr Felgate is then also put in handcuffs and told he is being detained. He later tweeted that they were held for around 13 hours.
