This is the moment a statue of a slave trader was torn down by Black Lives Matters protesters in Bristol, UK.

Footage shows the prominent 19th century statue of Edward Colston, who who acquired a significant part of his wealth through the trade and exploitation of 80,000 slaves, being pulled down with ropes before being met with screams and cheers from the crowd.

After the statue fell to the ground, a protester posed with his knee on the statue's neck - reminiscent of the video showing George Floyd, an African-American who died while being restrained by a white US police officer.
