'Knives' Seen as Man Arrested near UK Parliament
by Naharnet Newsdesk 2 hours ago

Police swooped on a man close to the Houses of Parliament in London on Thursday, with eyewitnesses telling AFP they saw knives on the ground.

The incident comes a month after the March 22 attack in which a man drove into pedestrians, killing four, and stabbed a police officer to death at the gates of parliament.

"Man arrested in Westminster. No reported injuries," Scotland Yard said on their Twitter account.

"Officers are on the scene."

An AFP photographer saw firearms officers surrounding the man and pinning him to the ground at a pedestrian island.

Well, it's obvious that you can't profile what a potential terrorist might look like. (sarcasm off) That was a big knife he had and he was under surveillance.
