A HS2 worker has been filmed kneeling on the neck of a protester who was allegedly catapulting carrots into a work site of the high-speed rail scheme. The pinned-down protester appears to make very little movement during the minute long video, in which a woman can be heard telling the HS2 worker to stop kneeling on the protester's neck. Other HS2 workers are also seen standing nearby, with one stopping the woman from getting closer to the incident. Staffordshire Police say the protester has been arrested and that they are investigating the allegations against the HS2 workers. Pictured: Part of the HS2 site in Denham, Buckinghamshire.
