Extinction Rebellion protesters clashed with wealthy New Yorkers during a noisy blockade of a heliport in Chelsea on Wednesday.
Six climate protesters were arrested after they blocked the entrance to the JRA heliport on West 30th St for 90 minutes.
Footage of the clashes captured by Freedom News TV captured the chaotic scenes as cars and pedestrians were prevented from entering the heliport.
A security guard appeared to shove one activist who was filming the heated encounter.
The protesters waved banners declaring “luxury emissions” and “life or death”.
