Just Stop Oil protesters dragged away after blocking busy road in Newcastle city centre

Protestors who blocked a major road in Newcastle city centre have been left "shaken" after members of the public forcibly dragged them away.

Eleven people from Just Stop Oil held a demonstration outside of Central Station on Neville Street at around 2pm on Saturday, June 11, as they called on the Government to end new fossil fuel licensing and production.

The group, which was largely made up of students from Newcastle, sat down in the middle of the road to block traffic in an effort to draw attention to their message. However, demonstrators found themselves forcibly dragged out of the road by angry members of the public.
