A man dressed as a piece of broccoli has been arrested in London.
He was led away by police in connection with the Extinction Rebellion protests on Sunday.
The man wore a suit and a floret-style hat, and green face paint.
He was seen holding a sign reading: “I’m locally sourced and environmentally friendly”.

Well, that was a first in a long journalistic career. I just filmed police on Oxford Street arrest an @XRebellionUK protester dressed like broccoli. As they cuffed him, he cried “Free the pea!” and held aloft a floret of broccoli like it was the liberty torch. pic.twitter.com/f5KQJqMHjH
