London's Metropolitan Police said: 'Police were called at 15:33hrs on Friday, 18 October to reports of a man climbing up scaffolding surrounding Big Ben. Officers remain on scene.'
The activist group has defied a London-wide public order ban issued on Monday by staging protests outside Downing Street and blocking the busy Oxford Circus intersection with a wooden pyramid.
The Metropolitan Police said the crackdown was intended to prevent 'ongoing serious disruption to the community.'
Extinction Rebellion decried the ban as an 'erosion of democracy' and called for greater attention on the climate crisis.
On Thursday, London commuters dragged Extinction Rebellion protesters off the top of a subway train as clashes broke out between passengers and activists.
