Police this morning have been working to further reduce the perimeter around Parliament, by moving concrete barriers further into areas currently occupied by protesters.
 
Some officers are equipped with shields, in order to protect themselves from objects thrown by protesters, such as human waste.
 
A large number of protesters have attempted to obstruct police from moving the concrete barriers.
 
At least three officers require medical attention after being sprayed with an unknown substance by protesters.
 
One person has been arrested after attempting to drive a car into a group of police officers. 
 
Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
