REPORT WILL BE UPDATED AS DETAILS EMERGE: At least five people have been killed–including a policeman, the “middle-aged Asian” terrorist, and two civilians, in a major nonwhite Muslim terrorist attack near the Parliament building in London, Britain, At least 20 people have been injured.

Assistant commissioner, Mark Rowley, head of counterterrorism, confirmed that four people have died including one police officer and the attacker.

• Attacker ploughed into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before crashing into the railing of the Houses of Parliament and exiting the car to continue the attack.

• Attacker then stabbed one of the armed officers protecting parliament, who has died.

• Police are currently working on the assumption that there was only one attacker.

• Two people died on Westminster Bridge

• At least 20 people have been injured, including three police officers who were returning from a commendation ceremony.

The bearded attacker, described as a “middle-aged Asian” was been taken into custody and admitted to hospital after being shot by police. He however died later,

The attacker is put on a stretcher after treatment on the scene.

The attack took the form of a Hyundai Hatchback carrying out a ramming attack on the famous Westminster Bridge which approaches the parliament building from the south.

After running over and wounding several civilians, the vehicle then struck the railing at the parliament building. The drivers, described as an “Asian” by witnesses, then sprang from the vehicle and stabbed a nearby policeman.

Other officers in the area then opened fire and wounded the nonwhite attacker, who dropped his large knife at the scene.

Quentin Letts, the Daily Mail’s parliamentary sketchwriter, said he saw a man in black attack a police officer outside Parliament before being shot two or three times as he tried to storm into the House of Commons, the Press Association reports.

“I saw a thick-set man in black clothes come through the gates into New Palace Yard, just below Big Ben,” he told the BBC.

“He had something in his hand; it looked like a stick of some sort, and he was challenged by a couple of policemen in yellow jackets.

“And one of the yellow-jacketed policemen fell down and we could see the man in black moving his arm in a way that suggested he was stabbing or striking the yellow-jacketed policeman.”

The other officer ran to get help and the man in black ran about 15 yards toward the entrance, he said. He added:

“As this attacker was running toward the entrance two plain-clothed guys with guns shouted at him what sounded like a warning; he ignored it and they shot two or three times and he fell.”

There is no official estimate of the number injured in the incidents today in Westminster, but police fear they may run into double digits.

The Press Association has reported that the dead person is a female and many others have been wounded with “catastrophic” injuries” according to a doctor at St Thomas’ Hospital.

Matt Haikin, 44, from London who works in international development was on the scene immediately after one person was hit by a car and as shots were fired inside the parliament grounds. He told the Guardian he feared another Paris attack was under way.

“I was cycling from the West End up the Embankment and saw a black car on the pavement right next to Big Ben with the front all smashed in with a body next to it. I thought it was just an accident and carried on cycling past and noticed people running around and I thought ‘what is going on’. A few seconds later I heard shots coming from inside the parliament grounds. I then realised this was not just another accident.”

He said the body next to the car “wasn’t moving and there was a lot of blood”.

“There were students shouting because there was a lot of blood. It felt like about 10 seconds after [that I heard the shots] but it could have been a bit longer because by that point I was starting to get a bit scared. I think there were three or four shots but I couldn’t swear to that.”

He said the shots came from the yard in front of the Palace of Westminster.

“As I looked [through the railings] there were people milling around and I think a couple of bodies on the floor. I couldn’t tell if they were injured or had just been asked to lay down. The police at that point started to appear and were moving everybody back.

“I felt shock. At the point that I thought maybe this was a bigger thing I started to get scared, but it calmed down pretty quickly and then it was just, shit, what is going on.”

Hurrell said that the car had come to a halt following shots.

“There were shots to stop the car. The car turned, went completely over the cycle lane and rammed nose-first into the parliamentary fence. There was someone on the ground on the right of the car. They didn’t look very good.”

An eyewitness has told Sky News that he saw a body in the Thames after the car drove into people on Westminster Bridge.
