SCRIPT
Hundreds of protesters of the environmental activist group 'Extinction Rebellion' organised a blockade of several roads in Washington DC on Monday, demanding action against climate change.
Footage shows protesters marching, chanting, and holding banners. Several protesters also attached their arms to a boat parked in one of the streets.
The protesters can also later be seen being removed by the police, who had to cover the activists with blankets and made them wear hearing protection devices as they cut them loose.
The Extinction Rebellion protest in the US capital comes as world leaders are gathering in New York City for the United Nations General Assembly.
