Latest: Westminster terror attack

Emergency services are responding to, what police believe was, a terror attack in the Westminster area of London.

A silver Ford Fiesta collided with a number of cyclists and pedestrians before crashing in to barriers outside the Houses of Parliament at 07:37 this morning (Tuesday 14th August 2018).

Our reporter Georgie Prodromo is at the scene:

The driver of the car, a man in his late 20s, was arrested on suspicion of terror offences and is currently in custody.

Here's what we know about him so far: :: He was wearing a black puffer jacket and was led away from the scene in handcuffs. He is being held at a south London police station.

:: Police say the suspect is "not currently co-operating", and they had not formally identified him but he's believed to be from the Midlands.

A number of people were injured as a result of the collision and they are in hospital with non life threatening injuries.

Here's what we know about them so far:

:: Two people were taken to hospital, one of whom, a man, has since been discharged. A woman is being treated for serious but non life-threatening injuries at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington. Another man, who was treated at the scene, did not need to go to hospital.
