Footage shot by the BBC inadvertently catches an unidentified man walking up to police constables during a fracas, showing his identification, and quickly walking off beyond police lines.
The man is unlikely to be a journalist since he’s dressed in gear that covers his face and head, while carrying nothing that looks like a notebook or a camera.
The video was shot by a BBC News helicopter during coverage of the protests away from the main TUC march on Saturday.
In January this year the Met Police admitted that it had posted covert officers at the G20 protests last year, despite initially saying it had not.

The full video shot by the BBC is here (the necessary segment is 5m50s in).
