Camera operator uses crane as weapon to knock down climate activist who stormed stage during live performance

A camera operator used a camera suspended on a crane to knock down a climate activist that stormed the stage of Sweden’s version of Strictly Come Dancing during a live performance.

According to The New York Post, the activists were from the group Restore Wetlands, and burst onto the stage with powder paint and a banner reading “restore wetlands.”

As a male activist hoists a banner after storming the stage, the camera crane can be seen swooping into the picture and knocking the activist down, causing him to land on his butt.

Security can then be seen rushing the stage to try and remove the activists.
