"A protester carrying a dog scaled the clock tower at King's Cross station in London to unfurl a banner calling for freedom in Iran. Footage taken on Tuesday (2 August) shows the demonstrator, who wore a black t-shirt displaying no to war, standing on the edge of the building as a poster which reads Iran belongs to its people hangs below him."
"Firefighters in a cherry picker can be seen trying to convince the man to come down from the tower. After a three-hour standoff, he eventually handed the dog over to emergency service workers. The protester was brought down shortly before midday. The British Transport Police said: A man has now been safely removed from the precarious position and arrested on suspicion of causing a public nuisance."
