The last protester fighting to save a century-old tree in Auckland has been arrested and removed from the site by police.
A tearful Caleb Azor, 18, was helped down out of the macrocarpa about 11.30am.
A witness at the scene told the Herald police officers climbed up to where the teenager was and spoke to him for some time. They haven t forcibly pulled him out - he walked down the ladder himself - but he was crying.
