The protester has been identified as Irish paralympian James Brown, who is registered as visually impaired and won the bronze medal for cycling in the 2012 Olympics.
Extinction Rebellion protesters have been taking to the streets of London for the second time this year to oppose government inaction on climate change. However, one protester decided to take his demonstration to the skies.
"I hate heights," he said."This is about the climate ecological crisis. They [the British government] declare a climate emergency and then do nothing about it. In fact, they go the opposite direction. They sanction the expansion of airports. We can't let this go on."
