This is the moment the suspected Westminster terror attack was captured unfolding on a rooftop camera. A silver Ford Fiesta is seen being driven next to Parliament Square towards Westminster Abbey on Tuesday morning. But, as a group of cyclists stop at a traffic light, the vehicle fails to come to a halt and ploughs into them. As an ambulance passes the car on its right-hand side, it swerves left - crossing oncoming traffic and hitting a number of pedestrians as it mounts a pavement. The car then enters a small road and accelerates to up to 50mph, witnesses said, before crashing into a security barrier.

There was nobody else in the vehicle and no weapons were found, the Metropolitan Police said. Police said he is being held in custody at a south London police station after armed officers swarmed the scene following the suspected terror attack just before 7.40am.
