Hebden Bridge woman among three arrested after paint thrown over garden at Chelsea Flower Show
Protest group Just Stop Oil have claimed responsibility
A woman from West Yorkshire's among three people who've been arrested after orange paint was thrown over a garden at the Chelsea Flower Show in London.
The Metropolitan Police said three people were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, and have shared a photo on Twitter.
In a statement, Just Stop Oil confirmed three women had thrown paint over the RBC Brewin Dolphin Garden, designed by Paul Hervey-Brookes, an award winning plantsman, after stepping over a rope barrier at 9am on Thursday.
A spokesperson said: "One of them said: 'What use is a garden if you can't eat?'
"Cries of dismay could be heard from the public, though this later changed to applause and cries of 'Well done'."
They added: "This is not a one-day event, this is an act of resistance against a criminal Government."
The 58-year-old from Hebden Bridge, who we're not naming, said: ""I know that by carrying out this action, I risk losing my job, my livelihood and my reputation, but it is what I have to do right now.
"We all need to do everything in our power to stop this madness continuing.
"There is a better, cleaner, safer future, but only if we fight for it."
The Met said on Twitter: "Officers responded to an incident at #ChelseaFlowerShow this morning.
"Three people were arrested at the scene on suspicion of criminal damage in connection with a #JSO protest. Enquiries are ongoing."
The RHS Chelsea Flower Show began on Monday and is running until Saturday.
