Wellington business on edge of protest keen for help

From Checkpoint, 6:14 pm on 22 February 2022

Police and protesters have faced off yet again outside Parliament today, as the stand off enters a third week.

Three police officers have been taken to hospital after they were sprayed with an unidentified stinging substance.

Some officers again had poo thrown at them. And one person's been arrested after driving a car at police who were holding back protesters.

But protesters maintain their demonstration remains overwhelmingly peaceful, saying they're going nowhere.
