Downing Street has said there are no reports of any injuries after Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s car was involved in a collision outside the Palace of Westminster.
A protester was detained after running in front of the silver Jaguar as it left the Houses of Parliament following Prime Minister's Questions.
Video footage showed the car being hit by a Range Rover travelling behind.
Boris Johnson’s convoy was targeted by a protester as the Prime Minister left the Palace of Westminster.
The demonstrator, who had been protesting about Turkish action against Kurdish rebels, ran into the road outside the gates to Parliament.
This forced the lead vehicles in the convoy – a police motorbike and the Prime Minister’s Jaguar – to stop, with a support vehicle running into the back of the luxury saloon carrying Mr Johnson.
The vehicles drove off shortly afterwards in the direction of Downing Street, with a large dent visible on the rear of the Jaguar.
Downing Street said there were no reports of anyone being injured in the incident.
A Number 10 spokesman confirmed the car was Mr Johnson’s, adding: “I think the video speaks for itself as to what happened. No reports of anybody being injured."
The spokesman said Mr Johnson was travelling in the car at the time.
The protester was detained by police and taken into the Palace of Westminster by officers.
