'Occupy' protest on London roof

'Occupy' protest on London roof

Dozens of protesters from Occupy London stormed an office in London’s West End today.

The group of about 60 - linked to the anti-capitalist protesters camped out in the churchyard of St Paul’s Cathedral - said they were “targeting” Mick Davis, the chief executive of mining company Xstrata.

The demonstrators entered Panton House, in Panton Street - which houses offices of Xstrata. Some of them gained access to the roof, where officers moved in to clear them.

Demonstrators hung protest banners on the roof before police regained control of the building.
