Environmental activist Greta Thunberg was seen jogging off after the 20-year-old pleaded not guilty at Westminster Magistrates’ Court to a public order offence during a protest in London last month.
After failing to break free from a large crowd of members of the media as she left the court, Ms Thunberg sharply changed direction and sprinted away down Marylebone Road.
