Vehicle from Chelmsford used in Westminster attack #security #London #UK #westminster #commons #parliament #housecommons #westminsterbridge
There were disturbing scenes on Westminster Bridge where around a dozen pedestrians were knocked down by the car
Members of the public rushed to help a man run down after the vehicle mounted the pavement on Westminster Bridge
Commons Leader David Lidington told MPs a 'police officer has been stabbed' and the 'alleged assailant was shot by armed police' following a 'serious' incident within the parliamentary estate.
Witness Jayne Wilkinson said: 'We were taking photos of Big Ben and we saw all the people running towards us, and then there was an Asian guy in about his 40s carrying a knife about seven or eight inches long.
'And then there were three shots fired, and then we crossed the road and looked over. The man was on the floor with blood.
'He had a lightweight jacket on, dark trousers and a shirt. He was running through those gates, towards Parliament, and the police were chasing him.'
Her partner David Turner added: 'There was a stampede of people running out. You saw the people and you thought 'what the hell is going on'.'
Steve Voake, 55, was walking across the Westminster Bridge and saw at least two bodies lying on the road and one in the water.
'I saw a trainer lying in the road and when I looked more closely I saw that there were a couple of bodies the other side of the road,' he told the Press Association.
'And when I looked over the side there was another body lying in the water with blood all around it.'
Speaking to reporters outside the central London hospital, junior doctor Colleen Anderson from St Thomas' Hospital said a female pedestrian had died.
She also said she treated a police officer in his 30s with a head injury who had been taken to King's College Hospital.
She said: 'I confirmed one fatality. A woman. She was under the wheel of a bus. She died, confirmed her death at the scene.'
It is believed this was the series of events this afternoon where a knife attacker drove into pedestrians before he was shot
A man is thought to have jumped or been knocked from Westminster Bridge and lay with terrible injuries next to the Thames
An injured victim walks from the scene on Westminster Bridge where more than 10 people were reported knocked down
Pieces of a car's undercarriage lay scattered on the pavement of Westminster Bridge as the public went to the aid of victims
A spokesman for the Port of London Authority, which looks after safety on the River Thames, said: 'A female member of the public was recovered from the water near Westminster Bridge. She is alive but undergoing urgent medical treatment on a nearby pier. We believe she fell from the bridge.'
He said the river has been closed from Vauxhall to Embankment 'as part of the security response'.
Mail journalist Quentin Letts saw the incident out of the window of a Commons office. He told the BBC: 'We heard this sound that sounded like a car crash… Then we saw a thick set man in black clothes come through the gates where people would normally drive cars
'This man had something in his hand. It looked like a stick. He was challenged by two policemen. The policeman fell down.
'We could see the man in black moving his arm in a way that suggested he was either striking or stabbing.'
Kevin Schofield, the editor of PoliticsHome.com heard 'a very loud bang' from the press gallery inside the Houses of Parliament followed by lots of shouting and men running around.
He initially thought it was a car crash but then he looked outside the window to a heavily-guarded area outside which is out of bounds to the public.
He told Sky News: 'Someone rushed through, attacked a policeman, a policeman went down, another policeman came and he was rescued.
'The man who had assaulted him got up and he appeared to be carrying either a knife or a gun. Then we heard gunfire, lots of gunfire, maybe five or six rounds.
'All I remember seeing is the man approaching the police officer probably with a knife and then there was gunfire.'
Tourists who were riding the London Eye when the attack took place are currently being held inside the pods of the attraction as a safety measure.
The Ferris wheel's official Twitter account said given its close proximity to the Houses of Parliament, it would be keeping hold 'of all its guests as per tried and tested security procedures'.
Eyewitness Rick Longley described the attack saying: 'We were just walking up to the station and there was a loud bang and a guy, someone, crashed a car and took some pedestrians out.
'They were just laying there and then the whole crowd just surged around the corner by the gates just opposite Big Ben.
'A guy came past my right shoulder with a big knife and just started plunging it into the policeman. I have never seen anything like that. I just can't believe what I just saw.'
After the incident, Radoslaw Sikorski posted a video to Twitter purporting to show people lying injured in the road on Westminster Bridge.
Mr Sikorski, a senior fellow at Harvard's Centre for European Studies, wrote: 'A car on Westminster Bridge has just mowed down at least 5 people.'
The press gallery cafeteria was used a first aid post by officers. One man was present with blood on his shirt. Journalists were confined to their offices and were not allowed to leave the area.
Outside Parliament, around two dozen police officers came onto the estate at around 4.20pm following an extensive briefing.
All the officers were wearing gloves and could be about to begin a detailed finger print search.
The dramatic incident comes weeks after it was revealed that UK security services have foiled 13 potential attacks in less than four years, while counter-terrorism units are running more than 500 investigations at any time.
The official threat level for international terrorism has stood at severe, meaning an attack is 'highly likely', for more than two years.
Liberal Democrat transport spokeswoman Baroness Randerson said countries seem to have been 'singled out based on religious beliefs'.
[In a proper government, this B.O.D. should be thrown out of Parliament. ]
'Of course safety is paramount at all times and we all need to remain vigilant but this ban needs to be explained in detail,' she said.

UK: Witness saw Muslim with 8-inch knife heading toward Parliament building
March 22, 2017 11:36 am By Robert Spencer 4 Comments
“One witness said she saw an Asian man carrying an eight-inch knife heading towards the building.”
“Asian” is British media Newspeak for “Muslim.”
“A car on Westminster Bridge has just mowed down at least five people.”
That, also, is a common modern method of jihad.
“Parliament shooting: ‘I saw knifeman’ Witness reveals Westminster carnage,” by Katie Mansfield, Express, March 22, 2017:A WITNESS of the Westminster attack has described the terror as she saw a knifeman running towards Parliament as three shots were fired in the London attack.
Shocked witnesses said they saw bodies lying on the ground on Westminster Bridge near Parliament.
One witness said she saw an Asian man carrying an eight-inch knife heading towards the building.
Jayne Wilkinson said: “We were taking photos of Big Ben and we saw all the people running towards us, and then there was an Asian guy in about his 40s carrying a knife about seven or eight inches long.
“And then there were three shots fired, and then we crossed the road and looked over. The man was on the floor with blood.

This may not be a jihad terror attack. It could be anything: a madman, an outraged “Remainer,” the latest outbreak of violence between Lancaster and York. Yes, it has the jihadi modus operandi with the knife or machete, but let’s not be hasty or say anything “Islamophobic” that might annoy the poor dears.
“Two people shot outside UK parliament, 12 injured,” Al Arabiya, March 22, 2017:A least a dozen people have been injured on Westminster Bridge after large bangs were heard outside the British parliament, a Reuters photographer said on Wednesday
