A man has been arrested after a car crashed into security barriers outside the Houses of Parliament, Scotland Yard say.
London Ambulance says two pedestrians have been injured in the incident and taken to hospital to be treated. Both the patients are not seriously injured.
Scotland Yard issued a statement saying: "At 0737 hours today, a car was in collision with barriers outside the Houses of Parliament.
"The male driver of the car was detained by officers at the scene. A number of pedestrians have been injured. Officers remain at the scene.
"We will issue further info when we have it."
Eyewitness Ewalina Ochab told the BBC: "I think it looked intentional - the car drove at speed and towards the barriers.
"I was walking on the other side of the road. I heard some noise and someone screamed. I turned around and I saw a silver car driving very fast close to the railings, maybe even on the pavement."
The Metropolitan Police are saying they do not believe anyone is in a life-threatening condition after the incident.
Westminster tube station has been closed as a precaution Transport for London says.
