British police said today, Thursday, that a car rammed into the front gates of the Prime Minister’s residence in London.
The police said that there were no injuries and one person was arrested, explaining that an investigation is underway to ascertain the circumstances of the accident.
For her part, Al-Arabiya correspondent revealed that British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was at the government headquarters when the car collided with the gate of the building.
Video footage posted on social media showed a white car driving straight into the gates at low speed across Whitehall, the main street in London’s government district.
Footage taken shortly afterward showed a car with its trunk open at the raised metal gates.
It is not yet clear if the collision was intentional. Police said they are working to determine the circumstances.
Whitehall was cordoned off by police after the incident, but some barricades were later removed.
Downing Street is a narrow row of Georgian houses that house the official residence of the Prime Minister, House No. 10.
Public access to the street is restricted and the gates are heavily guarded by armed police.
