Watch the moment that Patrick Christys is doused with water in dramatic migrant camp standoff

One person at the camp, who covered their face, aggressively questioned whether Patrick "was with the police" before throwing a bucket of water over the journalist.

She also pushed Patrick, forcing security to step forward and get involved.

The confrontation took place as the GB News host attempted to report on the encampment that has been established in the luxury area of central London.

Around 19 tents have been set up on the luxury spot in Westminster, positioned directly in front of five-star hotels and restaurants. The group camping on the land largely come from Romania.

Speaking to the camera at one point, the GB News host asked: "I do wonder what kind of job maybe that lady is planning on doing and whether or not she's going to be able to contribute much to British society."

Westminster City councillors called for the tents to be "removed as a priority" and said a lasting solution was needed otherwise "we will be back at square one".

TfL said it had been working closely with the council and other partners over many months to try to resolve the issue at Park Lane "compassionately and safely".

The spokesperson told the BBC: "We had to take enforcement action to regain possession of the site on two occasions last year, however, a number of people have returned with tents and other belongings," the spokesperson continued.

"We have been granted a possession order by the court and are working through the next steps with our partners.

"No one should be faced with sleeping rough on London's streets. Park Lane is a busy part of the road network that is not a safe place for people to sleep rough and our focus has always been on the safety and welfare of everyone involved."

A different person at the camp told Patrick: "I think they [the Council] will come tomorrow or next day."

Patrick asked: "And what happens when they do that then? Do they come with the police? Do they try to move you on. What do they do?

He said: "Well they use a force. They come in and use the force. You have to move.

"They take everything. They throw it out. That's what they do. They say this is the rule. This is the law. You cannot do nothing. But if you ask them to rehouse you, they say, no."
