Four people, including "a man who blocked the gates of Downing Street with his mobility scooter", have been arrested following a Westminster protest by Palestine Action, the Metropolitan Police has said.
A Met Police spokesperson said: "Officers have made four arrests in the vicinity of the Palestine Action protest taking place in Westminster this evening.
"Public Order Act conditions had been imposed to prevent serious disruption, requiring anyone taking part in the protest to assemble on Richmond Terrace, off Whitehall.
"A man who blocked the gates of Downing Street with his mobility scooter and refused to move to the conditioned area was arrested for breaching the conditions.
"A woman who locked herself onto a suitcase outside the gates of Parliament has also been arrested for breaching the conditions and for being in possession of articles intended for locking-on.
"A man who was with her and refused to move to the conditioned area was arrested for breaching the conditions.
"A fourth man has also been arrested for breaching conditions."
It comes after MPs voted to proscribe Palestine Action as a terror organisation.
The House of Commons voted voted 385 to 26, a majority of 359, in favour of proscribing the group under the Terrorism Act 2000.
The motion is expected to be debated and voted on by the House of Lords on Thursday before it becomes law.
If approved, it would become a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison to be a member of the direct action group or to support it.
