The members of a group called Robin Wood attached themselves to the tree 60 feet up on Dec. 12 to prevent it from being cut down to make way for a new bridge over the Elbe River, Deutsche Welle reported.

A throng of fellow protesters jeered police during the eviction, but the only people taken into custody were the 10 in the tree, the report said. Soon after, the tree was cut down, Spiegel Online reported.
