An assailant stabbed a policeman and was shot by police just outside Britain's parliament building in London on Wednesday in what police described as a "terrorist incident".
Amid confusing scenes, it appeared the incident may have unfolded in several locations, including on the nearby Westminster bridge where eyewitnesses said a car had crashed into pedestrians.
Four people died in the incident, according to Sky News, but the total number of casualties was unclear.
"Officers - including firearms officers - remain on the scene and we are treating this as a terrorist incident until we know otherwise," London's Metropolitan Police said in a statement.
The incident took place on the first anniversary of attacks by militants that killed 32 people in Brussels.

According to AFP, a woman has been killed and some 'catastrophic' injuries have been reported during the UK parliament attack.
Witness Rick Longley told the Press Association that he saw a man stab a policeman outside Britain's Parliament.
"We were just walking up to the station and there was a loud bang and a guy, someone, crashed a car and took some pedestrians out," he said.
