London, Aug. 14 (TNS): A man has been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences after a car crashed outside the UK Houses of Parliament, injuring several people.<\/p>\n
Officers were seen surrounding the vehicle before the man in his late 20s was detained, shortly after 07:30 BST on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
London Ambulance Service said it had taken two patients to hospital with non life-threatening injuries after cyclists and pedestrians were hit.<\/p>\n
No one else was in the car and no weapons have been found so far.<\/p>\n
“At this stage, we are treating this as a terrorist incident and the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command is now leading the investigation,” said Scotland Yard.<\/p>\n
The man is in police custody at a south London police station and police are searching the vehicle, which is still at the scene.<\/p>\n
A number of eyewitnesses have said the silver Ford Fiesta, which was travelling westbound, appeared to deliberately hit members of the public as it swerved into the opposite lane.<\/p>\n
Footage released by the BBC shows the moment when the vehicle drives over a pedestrian crossing before crashing into the security barriers.<\/p>\n
