Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "This evening, 28 April, officers arrested three people - two males aged 68 and 45, and a 60-year-old woman - in Wickham Road, SE4 on suspicion of conspiracy to cause public nuisance and breach of the peace. They are currently in custody at Lewisham police station."
The fellow activist Mike Raddie, who was with the three protesters said: "Chris was arrested first. He lay down on the pavement opposite his house to make the arrest difficult. He was pulled up by four police officers and two bundled him into the back of a van.”
