Video posted on social media shows construction workers helping police officers remove a trio of climate change protesters Tuesday morning from a road leading into Washington, D.C.

The construction workers, wearing neon vests, were seen jumping into action to assist police by carrying one male protester away from traffic near a construction site, footage obtained by News2Share showed.

One U.S. Park Police officer warned the three protesters that obstructing traffic was not acceptable conduct. A male protester who held a sign that read “Pres. Biden Declare Climate Emergency Now,” defended the group’s decision to block oncoming traffic, telling the officer, “We want the president to see this.”

Construction workers close to the scene helped multiple police officers bring the demonstrators to the side of the road after all three were handcuffed. Orange cones were on the road, indicating the area where the construction workers were stationed.
