This is the same spot in 2017 where a terrorist drove his car into pedestrians, killing 5 and wounding 49:
Big police presence at gates of parliament where reports – unconfirmed – of someone being tasered. These are the same gates where the Westminster attack took place last year, with security significantly tightened since then. pic.twitter.com/O0LKpWIJIM
