Three police officers were slightly injured on Friday night as they arrested a 26-year-old man who drove up to a police van in a restricted area outside Buckingham Palace then reached for a 4-foot (1.2-meter) sword. The suspect repeatedly shouted “Allahu akbar!” (“God is great” in Arabic).

No others apart from the man and the officers were injured in the incident.
