Just Stop Oil: Filmmaker and photographer arrested while covering protest

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. Watch more videos at the Independent TV: https://www.independent.co.uk/tv/edit...
