Just Stop Oil activist falls to the ground as car drives through protest

A Just Stop Oil activist was seen falling to the ground after a car drove through groups of protesters.

In footage posted to social media groups of orange-clad demonstrators can be seen holding signs in a demonstration on Holloway Road, north London.

In the video, a grey Renault drives next to a gang of at eco-activists holding a large "Just Stop Oil" sign.

In the gaggle of protesters, at least one person appears to put their hand on the car's bonnet and another appears to stand in front of the vehicle.

A car horn can be heard blaring as a man's arm is seen flailing through the air before he appears to drop to the ground.

Fellow protesters then huddle around the fallen activist as the car drives off.

In the background, someone can be heard asking: "Are you okay?"

The Metropolitan Police are understood to be aware of the incident.

In a tweet, a Just Stop Oil spokesperson said: "After weeks of inflammatory language from politicians and right-wing media personalities, a car has finally rammed into a peaceful protest."

A follow-up tweet from the group's account read: "Are you about to comment "Good!" or "Stay out of the road"? Are you sure that the side you want to pick is the side of violence, of the repression of protest?

"What we do now determines the fate of humanity. You owe it to your children to do the right thing."

The Metropolitan Police were contacted for comment.
