Watch: Moment journalist is arrested by mistake as part of the Just Stop Oil protests

This is the moment an award-winning photographer is arrested by Surrey Police after mistaking him for Just Stop Oil eco-warriors who destroyed a petrol station on the M25.

Captured on his dashcam Peter Macdiarmid, 57, is led back to his car so he can lock it up before being taken in a police van to Redhill police station with 20 other activists at Clacket Lane petrol station.

Just Stop Oil said it had disrupted four service stations on the M25 on Wednesday and would continue to do so “until there is a meaningful statement from Downing Street”.
