Earlier today, a car crashed into the security barriers outside the Houses of Parliament in London.

The driver, a man in his late twenties, has been arrested on suspicion of terrorist activity.

The man collided with a number of cyclists and pedestrians before impacting the barrier. Due to the location, the incident is being treated as a terror attack and police are investigating to determine whether or not this is the case.

CNN reports that:

The driver was alone in the car and no weapons were recovered at the scene. He remains in custody in a south London police station.

London Ambulance Service said the two people treated for injuries were not believed to be in a serious condition. Both were taken to hospital.

Following the incident, the nearby Westminster Underground station was closed, according to Transport for London, while roads nearby were cordoned off.

The area is popular with tourists visiting the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Big Ben.

Parliament is currently in summer recess.
