Extinction Rebellion protesters spray fake blood on to Treasury

Four arrested after activists lose control of fire engine hose and bystander gets drenched

Four Extinction Rebellion activists have been arrested after trying to spray fake blood at the Treasury in Westminster from the top of a fire engine.

Dressed in funeral attire on the out-of-commission vehicle - which had a banner reading "Stop funding climate death" on its side - the protesters criticised the UK's military role in the Middle East and the UK's investments in companies that cause vast fossil fuel emissions, and called on others to rebel.
