This is the moment a woman is seen shouting “get out of the way” to Just Stop Oil protesters blocking a road as her family fear missing a flight to go on holiday.
She is seen confronting the group of campaigners who were stopping traffic on Marylebone Road in West London.
The woman tells them that they are going to miss their flight and fumes “you guys make me sick”.
She shouted: “Get out of the way. I lost my father two weeks ago and my kids are relying on this holiday. We're going to miss it because of you. We're going to miss our flights! You guys make me sick. Get a life and get a job.”
In the dramatic clip, she grabs banners from the protesters and is joined by another unhappy man wearing a white T-shirt.

Just Stop Oil has been carrying out a series of stunts especially at sporting events.
The World Snooker Championship was tainted by a protestor evading security and pouring powder on one of the tablecloths, and the Ashes Test at Lord's saw players act to prevent members from reaching the wicket.

That was despite Andy Murray urging eco-warriors to not disrupt Wimbledon and find alternative ways to protest because he supports their cause.
The winner of the 2016 Wimbledon tournament said: “I would imagine probably something would happen here. I agree with the cause - just not always how they go about expressing it.
"Rather than running on the court, maybe they could do it a different way. I didn’t see what Johnny Bairstow did, but it could be dangerous. I don’t know if they would attach themselves to the net or throw something onto the court - they have to be a bit careful going too near to tennis players who have obviously got rackets in their hands!”

The environmental activist group does, though, "applaud" the actions, particularly if it is part of a protest. Photographs taken at the wedding in Bruton, Somerset, show a woman approaching Mr Osborne and his former Treasury adviser Thea Rogers from behind and chucking the confetti.
