A video has emerged of protesters obstructing a highway in Atlanta, GA, US on Wednesday.

The footage shows members of an activist group called ‘Black Lives Matter’ marching and obstructing traffic on both the Downtown Connector and Freedom Parkway in the city.

The incident was part of a protest in response to the Aug. 9 fatal shooting of a 18-year-old African-American by a white police officer in Ferguson, US.

Atlanta police spokesman Officer John Chafee told local media a number of protesters blocked traffic for a short time and no arrests were made in connection to the protest.
