Buckingham Palace: Police injured as man with knife arrested
British police have arrested a man carrying a knife outside Buckingham Palace, with two officers suffering minor injuries during the incident.
The Metropolitan Police force said two officers suffered minor arm injuries while detaining the suspect, who is being held on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and assaulting police.
Police said the officers did not require hospital treatment. No other injuries were reported.
Police said it was too early to say whether the incident was terrorism-related.
A large number of police vehicles could be seen in The Mall, the wide road outside the palace, and the road was cordoned off with police tape.
Witness Kiana Williamson said she saw police officers trying to wrestle a man out of a car that had stopped near the palace.
In less than a minute, “the man had been restrained and looked almost unconscious by the side of the road,” she said.
Buckingham Palace is one of London’s main tourist attractions, and the London home of Queen Elizabeth II.
The Queen, however, usually spends August in Scotland at her Balmoral estate with family members.
Police stepped up patrols around major US tourist sites two attacks with vehicles and knives earlier this year on Westminster Bridge, which is near Parliament, and London Bridge.
Buckingham Palace, which is surrounded by tall gates, has seen past security breaches. Last year, a man convicted of murder climbed a wall while the queen was at home, and was detained in the grounds.

A HEAVING sea of Beliebers have greeted their pop idol with the expected ear-piercing screams as the “misunderstood” Canadian pop sensation emerged in a glass cube at nib Stadium.
Bieber took to the stage after Dutch DJ-producer Martin Garrix got the sold-out crowd worked up with his 55-minute set of electro-house beats, offset by towering fire balls.
The Biebs, sporting a platinum-blonde crew cut, hit the stage 35 minutes late for the opening show of the Australian leg of his Purpose World Tour, less than 24 hours after his private jet touched down on the tarmac at Perth Airport.
Bieber, dressed in a white jacket and grey hoodie, kicked off his performance with Mark My Words. By that time, our ear drums were almost bleeding from the screams of 32,000 fans…

American duo Bryce Cotton (20 points) and Casey Prather (18) spearheaded Wednesday night’s win for the Wildcats, while captain Damian Martin nailed three clutch three-point shots in the final quarter.
The Hawks were led by sharpshooting guard Rotnei Clarke (21) and centre AJ Ogilvy (21) at Wollongong’s Entertainment Centre.
Hawks import Marvelle Harris played 12 minutes off the bench after missing game one to be with his dying father in America.
Harris rushed back to Australia on Wednesday morning, playing 12 minutes off the bench but missing all four of his shots.
The Wildcats were down at quarter-time and half-time, before taking the lead late in the third period and never trailing again.
The visitors won by the same 89-77 scoreline as they did in game one, setting up victory with a strong rebounding effort in the second half.
A win in Sunday’s game three in Perth would give the Wildcats their eighth title and push them four championships clear of their nearest rival.

Former AFL star Ben Cousins has been refused bail in a Perth court after being charged with aggravated stalking of his former partner and the mother of his children, after a magistrate said the risk he would reoffend was too high, given he was a “very heavy meth user”.
Cousins was arrested at a home in Melville last night by police.
Cousins’ lawyer Michael Tudori, today told the Perth Magistrates Court the protected person in a Violence Restraining Order (VRO), his former partner Maylea Tinecheff, was misusing it.
“She uses it when it suits her, and when it doesn’t, she contacts police,” he said.
Mr Tudori said Cousins just wanted to see his children.
The court heard according to the VRO, Cousins was not permitted to be within 50 metres of Ms Tinecheff.
