Man arrested in London after collision on access to Downing Street

“At around 16:20 pm (12:20 pm in Brasília), a car crashed into the gates of Downing Street in Whitehall”, the avenue into which Downing Street opens.

“Armed officers detained a man at the scene on suspicion of criminal damage and dangerous driving,” police said in a statement.

“No injuries were reported. Investigations are ongoing to determine what happened,” London police added.

Television images show a white vehicle, with trunk and doors open, leaning against the bars. The police isolated the place.

These fences that close off access to the famous Downing Street were installed in 1989 for security reasons. Previously, the public could walk up to the famous black door of the British Prime Minister's official residence.
