«Breaking Pic News» Teen protester dangles ten metres above a TRAIN LINE to demonstrate against coal

A 17-year-old has been arrested after balancing himself on a tripod over a train line, in a dangerous protest against coal mining.

Newcastle teenager Ballyn Teagle hung from the ten metre high tripod at the Hunter River Rail Bridge at Sandgate where he then started a Facebook live stream.

His video started at around 6am this morning and he said he was protesting to support Frontline Action on Coal.

Police arrived at 6.15am and urged him to come down. Despite initial refusals, the teenager was eventually removed by Police Rescue at around 8.30am.

Teagle had also erected a banner which read 'Where is our plan?' and he said in his Facebook live stream that he was calling on everyone from executives to the general public to 'think outside their wallets' when it comes to coal.

'The fact that we have no meaningful plan to transition from fossil fuels frustrates me beyond belief,' he said.

'We have had the technology for years and still our leaders drag their feet, actively ignoring the obvious warning signs of a world heating up.'

Rail services were suspended during the protest and NSW Police told Daily Mail Australia that a male supporter in the vicinity was also arrested.

He was taken to Waratah Police station where he is expected to be charged for trespassing, aid and abet offences, Police said.

Frontline Action on Coal provided regular updates on Teagle's situation to followers on Facebook throughout the protest.

'Ballyn has been taken into police custody and we're hoping he will be released soon,' the group wrote in its latest update.

'Ballyn's action this morning is a testament to the fact that young people have had enough of the governments inaction in ensuring that they, and their children, have a future that isn't destroyed by climate change,' a spokesperson for Frontline Action on Coal told Daily Mail Australia. 

'Ballyn had, and continues to have the full support of Frontline Action on Coal, and we thank him for standing up for what he and many other Australians believe: that we can no longer wait for dysfunctional governments to take action on ensuring Australia's greenhouse gas emissions decrease and is instead taking that power into their own hands.' 

The spokesperson also said that Ballyn was in 'very high spirits' and is preparing for a number of live TV interviews this evening.

This is the second time this week that protestors have strung themselves over railway lines in the Sandgate area.

On Monday, university student Sarah Barron also balanced over a railway line in support of Frontline Action on Coal. 

Barron and two others were arrested and charged.

Police arrived at 6.15am and urged him to come down. Despite initial refusals, the teenager was eventually removed by Police Rescue at around 8.30am

His...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
