Hundreds of anti-vaccine protesters stormed ITN studios in central London.
The studios are home to ITV’s news programs, Channel 4 and Channel 5.
More than 100 protesters gathered at the offices of Grays Inn Road, while more than 20 police cordoned off the building’s entrances.
Several police vehicles are on standby and help prevent protesters from disrupting traffic.
Channel 4 presenter Jon Snow was spotted outside the building as protesters gathered.
Videos and photos from the scene were shared on social media showing police officers wearing high-visibility vests and masks as protesters forced themselves through a series of revolving doors.
Footage shows a man speaking through a megaphone as other protesters cheer.
Some protesters are said to have shouted for ITV political editor Robert Preston.
A man reportedly shouted: Some at the scene say one of the protest participants shouted, “Where is Peston?
“Bring me Peston.”
A live stream from the scene was shared on social media by a group called @ StandUpX2.
The video is captioned: ‘Refuse to leave ITV London until we get answers. ”
It comes weeks after protesters clashed with police on Monday as they attempted to storm the former BBC headquarters where ITV’s Loose Women was recorded.
The crowd was said to have been anti-vaccination protesters and images on social media showed police fighting to prevent the crowds from gaining access to the White City building in west London.
