This morning, starting around 4.30AM, police attempted an incursion on the site of the Camp for Climate Action. This occurred at both gates, with the largest body of police at the top gate to the site. This gate has had a van blocking it for several days now and police appeared to be using the excuse that it was an abandoned vehicle to force their way on to site en masse. The campers have been able to hold of the police incursion at both gates. In the process of attempting to remove the van blocking the upper the gate, the police resorted to breaking the side windows of the cab. The driver of the van was inside the cab at this point and hence was able to take the first shot. Luckily the driver was unharmed.
