A suited man pushed protesters, who he said were blocking his way as he headed to court, pushed them out of the road.
He shoved some of them out of the street and pleaded with others to move.
The man appeared to be wearing an ankle tag and yelled at them: “I’ve got court, I’ve got court.”
An onlooker filmed the clash with the pro-Palestine protests.
Once they had finally moved off the road, the man quickly ran back to his car and continued on his journey.
It took place on Victoria Street just outside of Westminster Abbey, in central London, as reported by Need To Know.
The protesters, equipped with Palestine flags, made their voices heard by stopping in front of traffic.
An eyewitness to the clash last Tuesday (15 Apr) said: “That man was rushing because he had a court appearance.
“He was trying to explain to the protesters he had an ankle tag and had to get to court.
“Hence the pleading to let him through.”
Members of the public have applauded the man for his efforts.
One said, “Well done, a hero.”
Another added: “He was late for court.”
One other said, “Oh no, he was late for court. Bless him for showing them his tag, trying to explain.
“Hope he made it.”
One said, “I can’t understand why more people don’t do this.”
Another added: “What is it with the blocking of roads in the UK as a protest?”
