Police bodycam footage was shown at the trial of six Palestine Action activists accused of breaking into a defence firm's factory in Bristol. The court heard that the group allegedly used a prison van to enter the site, splattered red paint, and smashed property with sledgehammers. One defendant is accused of striking a police sergeant with a sledgehammer, causing a spinal fracture. Officers described the chaotic scene and the injuries sustained, while the accused deny all charges. The jury was told that the group's later ban under terrorism laws is not relevant to the current case.
