Frustrated drivers got out of their cars to plead with the protesters to move.
One man could be heard telling the activists: “I’m trying to get a baby to hospital.”
Despite begging the eco-warriors to move on, they kept blocking traffic.
An ambulance was forced to reverse and find another route while one driver ripped away banners from the group as tensions escalated.
A van driver was seen slowly driving into the road pests, forcing them to move out of the way.
After 11 days of consecutive protests there have been more than 300 arrests made so far.

A binman from Westminster City Council who was also held up shouted: “You've got nothing better to do, get a job, you mugs, come on it's enough, we're just the f***ing workers, you clowns, f***ing idiots, you just sit there like a bunch of lemons.”
The eco-mob halted traffic at the junction of Knightsbridge and Brompton Road as part of their demands for the Government to stop new oil and gas licences.

One taxi driver was filmed saying: “How do I pay my bills? I've got one of these, an electric taxi. I paid £70,000 for that. I'm doing my bit, so why do you stop me?”
The activist's reply could not be heard, but the driver added: “What you're asking for is years and years and years away, it don't happen overnight. How stupid are you?”
28 PEOPLE ARRESTED
The Metropolitan Police later said it had arrested 28 protesters at the demonstration, all on suspicion of wilful obstruction of the highway.
A police liaison officer told the group: “Are you intending to stay here until you get removed by officers and arrested?” A woman replied: “Yes, or you can get them to stop new oil licences.”
In the exchange, the cop said: “I can't do anything about that, but what I can ask you to do is ask you to move out the road and protest in a more safe and appropriate location. Is anyone willing to do that?”

The junction, close to Harrods, Hyde Park and Knightsbridge Underground station, is a key route in and out of the capital from the west of the city.
It’s thought around 337 Just Stop Oil protesters have been arrested since the demonstrations began 11 days ago.
