Just Stop Oil protestors spray paint Harrods orange and block roads

Just Stop Oil protesters have spray-painted Harrods department store and blocked the road outside, leading to angry confrontations.

Protesters from Just Stop Oil have sprayed orange paint around the front of Harrods department store in Knightsbridge, central London, in the organisation’s latest demonstration calling for an end to new oil and gas.

Around 20 protesters gathered in Brompton Road at 9am on Thursday, with many glueing themselves to the road, blocking traffic.

A video shared on their Twitter page shows protesters spraying their distinctive orange paint on the windows of the luxury shop, as members of the public can be heard asking “what are you doing?”

A second video shared online appears to show Harrods security staff taking those who sprayed paint inside the store.
