Four officers were hurt as protesters tried to storm the HQ where COVID jabs were approved.
And Our Girl star Sean Ward was pictured in handcuffs as police grappled with activists outside the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in London.
The 33-year-old is believed to have been one of hundreds of protesters who gathered outside the building in the capital.
It’s not yet known what cops have accused him of.
He shared Instagram videos of himself travelling through London this morning – less than a month after joining a demonstration at the studios where the BBC and ITV film.
It’s understood the campaigners travelled to the capital today to protest vaccinations for children.
However, officials at the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunization (JCVI) confirmed this afternoon that they won’t recommend jabs for healthy youngsters aged 12 to 15.

NHS England had confirmed it’s already hiring vaccinators to go into classrooms and vaccinate youngsters in the age group.
Meanwhile, The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said it needs to be prepared in case approval was handed down.
But today, officials said they won’t recommend vaccinations for pupils.
That decision will face a review by the UK’s four chief medical officers before a final judgement is made.
It seems likely that the verdict came as a shock to the Government.
Just a week ago, DHSC appeared to hint approval for vaccinating children would be given.
A spokesperson said: “If the JCVI recommends that 12- to 15-year-olds should be offered the vaccine, we need to be ready to hit the ground running and start those vaccinations as soon as possible.

“That is what parents across the country would rightly expect us to do, to keep their children safe.
“That is why the Government has asked the NHS to undertake the necessary preparations to ensure they are ready to offer universal vaccination to 12 to 15-year-olds from early September.”

Meanwhile, all teachers and parents will have been offered the jab, with 42.3 million second doses doled out to adults in the UK so far.
However, experts on the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Modelling — or SPI-M — say Boris Johnson must now plan for a jump in cases.
