A man was arrested after driving his car into the gates of Downing Street, where the British Prime Minister’s office is located. The police have stated that the collision was not related to terrorism. However, officers from the counter-terrorism wing are still investigating the incident.
The man has been charged with making indecent images of children and is due to appear in court on the same day he was arrested. He was taken into custody on Thursday for suspicion of criminal damage and dangerous driving after the Downing Street incident. No injuries were reported, and the gate appeared undamaged.
The police have released him while they continue to investigate the incident. They have stated that he is not being treated as a terrorist, but they are receiving support from their counter-terrorism team.
Police officers have guarded the site where the car crashed into the front gates of Downing Street in London.
