A road in the City of London has been closed off after a man climbed on top of a Starbucks and started throwing rocks.

The man was filmed hurling stones from the roof of the building on Wallbrook.

Police were scrambled at about 4.50pm as the topless man began his actions.

“Let’s not give him an audience that’s what he wants,” City Police told passersby as the man, believed to be staging a protest, started throwing stones with crowds assembling.

A City of London statment on Twitter said: “Some areas are currently closed off to pedestrians whilst officers deal with an incident where someone has climbed a building: the area between Cannon St and the City Magistrates’ Court and around Mansion House. Thank you for your co-operation.”
