In a terror attack, a man drove a car at high speed and ploughed into several pedestrians and cyclists before crashing into security barriers outside the UK's Parliament during rush hour yesterday, injuring three persons, Scotland Yard said.

The attack is being investigated by Scotland Yard's Counter-Terrorism Command. The man, in his late 20s, has been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences. Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, the National Lead for Counter-Terrorism Policing in the UK, said the man was not cooperating with police as they work to establish his identity.
