Video has emerged of a man dressed as 'Death' being chased by security at an arms fair in London.

The grim reaper figure, wearing a black hooded robe and carrying a scythe, can be seen evading capture before being escorted off the premises.

Watch the chase here:

The DSEI Arms fair is the largest of its kind, being hosted at London's Docklands. The man is reported as protesting against the presence of representatives from countries with poor human rights records.

The international exhibition is used to buy and sell arms on a grand scale, taking place every two years.
