Protester who unfurled banner below clock face removed by cherry picker after almost four hours
A man holding what appeared to be a pomeranian dog who climbed the clock tower at King’s Cross station in London to unfurl a banner calling for freedom for Iran has come down.
As rain began to pour, the protester packed his banner away. He spoke to mediators and was brought down by a cherry picker at 11.50am, bringing the standoff to an end after nearly four hours.
The man had been standing in front of the clock face on the station’s 34-metre tower since rush hour on Tuesday morning.
British Transport Police said officers were called to King’s Cross at about 8am after reports of a person in a precarious position.
