At 05:40hrs on Tuesday, 6 September, officers were alerted to a number of protesters who had made their way airside at London City Airport.
There are currently nine protestors on the runway at the airport. They have erected a tripod and have locked themselves together.
Officers are currently on scene and are negotiating with them. We are awaiting the arrival of specialist resources that are able to ‘unlock’ the protestors.
No arrests have been made at this stage.
