A man has been arrested after reports that a person was seen carrying several knives outside the Houses of Parliament.

Officers were called to the scene in central London at 14:00 GMT on Tuesday where they apprehended the suspect, the Met Police said.

The 34-year-old was arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon in a public place and has been taken to a police station.

No injuries have been reported, the force added.

Police cars were seen parked in front of Carriage Gates – one of the most prominent entrances to the Palace of Westminster – following the incident on Tuesday afternoon.

A man wearing a red hooded top was seen handcuffed and surrounded by police.

The area was cordoned off during the incident and the entrance was closed.
