(35 minutes later) | |
A second man has been arrested after three police officers were injured by a man brandishing a 4ft sword near Buckingham Palace on Friday. | |
A 30-year-old man has been detained at an address in west London, and a search is being carried out, police say. | |
He was arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences. | |
Police continue to question a 26-year-old man from Luton who was arrested outside the palace on Friday. | |
Dean Haydon, head of counter-terrorism at Scotland Yard, said on Saturday that the man deliberately drove at a police vehicle before stopping and being confronted by three officers. | |
He repeatedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" as CS gas was used to "quickly" restrain him, Cdr Haydon said. | |
The three unarmed Westminster police officers received minor injuries. | |
Two of them were taken to hospital after receiving cuts to their hands and forearms. | |
No members of the Royal Family were in Buckingham Palace, which is the Queen's official London residence, at the time. |
