People were evacuated from the area of Westminster in London on Wednesday, after a police officer was stabbed and a car reportedly drove into a crowd of people, in two serious incidents. Police are reporting that they are considering the attacks as terrorist incidents.
The alleged assailant in the stabbing was shot by police, according to the latest reports, as he tried to enter the Houses of Parliament.
Up to 12 people were allegedly injured in the car incident on Westminster Bridge, which is adjacent to the Houses of Parliament.
The Houses of Commons, which earlier hosted Prime Minister's Questions, has now been suspended with MPs being told to wait in the chamber while the incident was resolved. Prime Minister Theresa May was ushered out of the palace by armed police.
