LONDON: British armed police detained a man on suspicion of having a knife after he ran, shouting, towards one of the gates of parliament in central London on Friday. A witness at the scene told Reuters the man ran towards one of the gates to parliament where a militant killed a policeman less than three months ago. Another witness told Reuters he saw police threatening to use a stun gun on the man. Pictures from the scene showed the man on the ground with an officer pointing a gun at him. The gates to parliament were closed and armed police were patrolling as usual inside the perimeter, a Reuters reporter inside the building said.
