Armed officers from the Metropolitan Police's counter-terrorism command unit swooped on the suspect Thursday, as part of an "ongoing operation." The 27-year-old man was arrested at 2.22pm, a few meters from the scene of a terror attack last month that left four people and the attacker dead. Witnesses said the man was pinned to the ground on Parliament Street, within sight of the Houses of Parliament and an array of British government buildings. Forensics officers examined the scene outside the London Underground station at Westminster and recovered the suspect's backpack and at least two knives.
