Youth Demand said two of its supporters jumped over the barriers and threw the substance in front of the men’s elite race at around 10.35am.

An image shared by the group shows two people standing in the middle of the road wearing T-shirts that said: “Youth Demand: Stop Arming Israel.”

It added: “City of London police quickly moved to arrest the pair.”

Youth Demand named the two activists as Willow Holland, 18, from Bristol, and Cristy North, a live-in carer from Nottingham.
