That lad with the selfie stick is Asian and is half smiling, surprised he wasn't hauled in,looks like a gloating type scenario in my very suspicious mind ..

Of course I'm most likely wrong

Not really sure it is. Quality is crap.

So much nonsense in this thread. Ridiculous.

I am afraid after an incident like this there will always be a lot said. Human nature.

The person was interviewed on Sky News at the scene. It's in the article.

What article? You provided a screenshot of a photo and some text.
If it's an actual article with interviews then it can at least be partially verifiable. We'd know the witness was probably there and is probably right. I say probably because there's always the chance they were lying about witnessing the attack or are just mistaken (but there's no chance of them being some random person on the internet who's sitting at home and is making sh1t up)

Scotland Yard live now on Sky News.

B.J Harrington making a statement for Scotland yard, declared a terrorist attack.

Asking the public to avoid several incidents.

Sin City

At least two people have died after a man mowed down pedestrians outside the Houses of Parliament and stabbed a policeman before being shot by armed officers.

Scotland Yard said the attack in Westminster was being treated “as a terrorist incident until we know otherwise”.

The attacker mowed down several pedestrians as he drove a grey Hyundai i40 across Westminster Bridge before crashing it into railings then running through the gates of the Palace of Westminster and stabbing the officer.
Eyewitnesses said he was shot at least three times by police as he approached a second officer clutching his knife.

No confirmation from SCOTLAND YARD. Nothing on Website. I haven't heard it- do you have the link?

Just saw this. An MP was attempting to resuscitate the officer who was stabbed.

Well done that man.

Everybody seems to be reluctant to commit to the fact that this was an Asian person.

No such reluctance in commiting to the fact that it was a male. Perhaps this person identifies as female but chooses to look like a male.

Shame on us for assuming this was a man based on eyewitness accounts. Very un-PC of us.

It's speculation plain and simple, but I don't see why so many people are clutching straws hoping for dear life it was someone other than a Muslim Extremist.

They've just said on Sky News, it appears to be a male in his 30s or 40s of Asian appearance.

Who? Met didn't. Was this an eye witness?

How many incidents are we dealing with here?

1) Shooting at Westminster Palace
2) Driver mowing down pedestrians on Westminster Bridge?

Or are they the same incident?

You actually want me to Sky Plus it, record what they said and upload it for you? You're just looking for a reaction at this stage.

If this was the 80's it would be assumed to be Irish. What's the point of isle speculation?

Jesus, really? taking a dig at transgendered people as well? Are you really that low that you'd stoop to using a terrorist attack for that?
