Police have declared a terrorist incident in London, on the Westminster Bridge.

According to London’s Metropolitan Police, the attack began at about 2:40 p.m., when the driver of a car struck pedestrians and three police officers.

Four are dead, including the suspect, and at least 20 people are injured.

According to Tice, the car appeared to have jumped the curb, knocking people over.

The car then crashed near the Houses of Parliament, and at least one man armed with a knife attacked an armed officer who was guarding Parliament, police said.

The suspect, who authorities believe acted alone, was shot and killed by police.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan said in a statement that “there will be additional armed and unarmed police officers on our streets from tonight in order to keep Londoners, and all those visiting our city, safe.”

“I want to reassure all Londoners, and all our visitors, not to be alarmed. Our city remains one of the safest in the world,” Khan said. “London is the greatest city in the world, and we stand together in the face of those who seek to harm us and destroy our way of life. We always have, and we always will. Londoners will never be cowed by terrorism.”
