A man was arrested on Friday near the gates of the UK Parliament for possession of a knife and tasered by Scotland Yard officers, an incident that comes nearly three months after an Islamist carried out a terror attack in the high-security area.
The Metropolitan police said the man — in his 30s —was arrested after being disabled with a stun-gun for possession of a knife and there were no reports of any injuries. The police said it will not declare it as a terror incident until the Counter-Terrorism Command has investigated the motive behind the incident. “At 11.10 am on Friday officers on routine duties near to the Carriage Gates entrance to the Palace of Westminster became aware of a man acting suspiciously.
