A teenage climate protester who scaled a 115ft (33m) crane and spent two nights up it has been charged with a public order offence.

The 17-year-old climbed the structure in Duke Street, Norwich, on Saturday morning, before coming down on Monday.

He has also been charged with causing criminal damage and obstructing a police officer.

Appearing before Norwich magistrates, he was released on bail and is due at Norwich Youth Court later this month.
