A man reportedly attempted to drive into the Houses of Parliament in London via the main gate on Tuesday, The Sun has reported.
The man who tried to drive through the main gate of the Houses of Parliament is thought to have been arrested by the police, according to The Sun.
"At around midday on Tuesday, 14 December, a vehicle attempted to enter Carriage Gates, Palace of Westminster", a Metropolitan Police spokesperson told The Sun, adding that the suspect was detained "before being sectioned under the Mental Health Act".
