London – Officers arrested a man who crashed a car into the gates of London's Buckingham Palace over the weekend, police said on Sunday. The Metropolitan Police said the car "collided with the gates" of the royal residence at 02:30 (GMT) on Saturday. Armed officers arrested the man at the scene on suspicion of criminal damage and he was taken to hospital, a spokesperson for the force said. In the lead-up to King Charles III's coronation last May, a man was arrested for throwing shotgun cartridges into the grounds of Buckingham Palace. The same month, a 43-year-old man was arrested for ramming his car into the gates that guard Downing Street, home of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
