Person shoots fireworks at Just Stop Oil protesters on Dartford Crossing

The protesters shared an update from their position at the top of the bridge on Tuesday morning though, showing that they had not been harmed by the dangerous act.

A Kent Police statement read: "Kent Police is aware of a video circulating online which appears to show fireworks being set off in Greenhithe near to the QEII bridge, Dartford.

"Officers are making enquiries to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the video and to identify any offences which may have been committed."

After scaling the bridge on Monday, one of the protesters, civil engineer Morgan Trowland, 39, posted a video from the top, demanding that the government halts all new oil and gas licenses and consents. He said they would remain on the bridge "until the Government makes a meaningful statement to cancel all new licences and consents for oil and gas extraction." https://twitter.com/JustStop_Oil/status/1582280329833816065 The Dartford Crossing protest comes after Just Stop Oil activists formed three roadblocks between Knightsbridge and Brompton Road in London - some even gluing themselves to the tarmac in a bid to bring traffic to a halt.
