Protesters from the Black Lives Matter movement temporarily blocked an ambulance trying to attend an emergency in Birmingham.

The ambulance can be seen being blocked by the traffic on the road, with its sirens and lights on.

The car at the front then moves to the side to make way, and protesters move out of the middle of the road, before returning to chant.
