UK Parliament on lock-down, man reportedly tasered outside gates
A man has reportedly been tasered and pinned to the ground outside the Houses of Parliament, London. The incident is alleged to have happened at the same gate that was attacked last year.
Passersby and journalists shared images on the incident on social media. Police, some of whom were armed, can be seen gathered beneath Big Ben, reportedly surrounding the 'intruder.'
On March 22, 2017, Briton Khalid Masood drove a car into pedestrians along Westminster Bridge injuring more than 50 people, five of them fatally. Masood then crashed his vehicle into parliament's perimeter fence, getting out and fatally stabbing an unarmed police officer to death, before being fatally shot by his colleagues.
Security around parliament has significantly increased, since the incident.
