Photo ReutersA man who assaulted police officers with a four-foot sword outside Queen Elizabeth's Buckingham Palace residence shouting "Allahu Akbar" was being questioned by counter-terrorism police on Saturday. "My partner saw a sword (...) as well as a policeman with blood on him, looking like his hand or chest was injured. The suspect was treated at a London hospital for minor injuries, and there were no other reported injuries. "This is a timely reminder that the threat from terrorism in the UK remains severe," Haydon added.
