A protester who climbed a clock tower in London while clutching a dog has been arrested, police have said.
The demonstrator, who unfurled a banner that read "Iran belongs to its people" and wore a black t-shirt emblazoned with the words "no to war", scaled the structure at King's Cross train station on Tuesday.
Firefighters attempted to talk the activist down and after around three hours, they eventually persuaded him to hand over the dog and allow it to be brought to the ground as onlookers cheered.
British Transport Police officers had been called following reports of "a person in a precarious position", a spokesperson said.
A cordon was put in place around the tower, where the protester at times stood up on the ledge where he was perched.
In a statement on Tuesday afternoon, the police added: "Officers attended alongside other emergency services, and a man was safely removed from the position and arrested on suspicion of causing a public nuisance."
