by

According to emerging reports, an armed man has been arrested at Whitehall, near London's Houses of Parliament.

The BBC Home Affairs correspondent reported that the assailant was carrying two knives including a bread knife when he arrested.

It has been established that no one was injured, but police have yet to release further details regarding the incident.

Following last month's terrorist attack in Westminister, security in the capital has been particularly tight.

It is understood that the individual was detained on Parliament Street, yards from an entrance to Westminister underground station.
