There are reports on social media of shots being fired outside the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London.
Witnesses have posted videos and photographs to Twitter of people with wounds being treated. A number of witnesses also reported a car being driven across Westminster Bridge that "mowed down" at least five people.
An air ambulance has landed outside Parliament, and people inside have tweeted that they have been instructed to stay where they are. All activities of the houses of Parliament have been suspended.
George Eaton, the political editor of the New Statesman, witnessed the attack from a window in Parliament. He said:
I have just seen police shoot a man who charged at officers while carrying what appeared to be a knife. A large crowd was seen fleeing the man before he entered the parliamentary estate. After several officers evaded him he was swiftly shot by armed police. Ministers have been evacuated and journalists ordered to remain at their desks.
The situation is ongoing and we will update this story as we know more.
