They added: "We understand that the woman left her car to approach the Just Stop Oil supporters and told them that she had a baby in the car that she was taking to a hospital appointment." 

In an attempt to justify their actions, Just Stop Oil admitted the group "made the decision" to ignore the woman and continue their march.

"After listening to the woman and hearing her concerns, our supporters made the decision that, as this was not a life-threatening emergency, they would wait for the police to arrive before leaving the road," the spokesperson told us.
