Man charged after ‘carrying axe’ near Buckingham Palace

·1-min read

A man has been charged after he allegedly wielded an axe near Buckingham Palace.

Private security guards working on The Mall were alerted by a member of the public to a man apparently carrying an axe at around 6.30pm on Tuesday.

They challenged and detained the man, who was then arrested by armed Metropolitan Police officers on patrol nearby.

He was remanded in custody and will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court later on Thursday.

Photos posted on Twitter by witnesses at the time appeared to show several officers surrounding the man near the Institute of Contemporary Arts building.

The Met previously said there were no reports of any injuries and that the incident was not being treated as terror-related.
