Police Officer Attacked Outside Parliament Building

Police officer has been attacked outside the British Parliament building.

Gatekeepers News reports that the Metropolitan Police said an officer was attacked with a mystery substance outside the British Parliament on Wednesday night.

Police said the suspect sprayed the officer’s face with a mystery substance around 8 pm while on duty at the Palace of Westminster in Millbank, Central London.

The Police are using a helicopter to search for the suspect who was seen running towards the Victoria Tower Gardens after the incident.

According to Scotland Yard, the officer suffered mild irritation on his face and was assessed by London Ambulance Service, adding that he did not require hospital treatment.

The attack comes hours after a man was arrested after allegedly climbing over a fence at the Houses of Parliament before being tasered and pinned down by armed police. The suspect got through the gate in front of the building before officers dragged him to the ground.

Eyewitnesses at the scene claimed the suspect had climbed over the fence before he was tasered by police. Although the Met said he was arrested at Carriage Gates on suspicion of trespassing on a protected site, it was not being treated as terror-related.

Further report indicated that the suspect made it through the same entrance where PC Keith Palmer was brutally murdered in a terrorist attack in 2017.
