The Westminster terror suspect has been charged with two counts of attempted murder by driving a car through crowds outside Parliament.

Salih Khater, 29, will appear in court facing a count of attempting to murder members of the public and one count of attempting to murder police officers, following the incident outside the Houses of Parliament on Tuesday.

The Sudanese-born suspect, who is a British citizen, allegedly drove his vehicle into pedestrians and cyclists before swerving towards police officers.

He then crashed into barriers outside the Palace of Westminster and was arrested. Three people were treated for non-life threatening injuries after the incident.

The defendant is due before Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday.
