A maniac behind the wheel mowed down people outside of the Parliament building in London — and then ran inside to start stabbing policemen! The knife-wielding psycho was quickly shot down by armed cops, with the bodies of innocent pedestrians still littering the ground around Westminster Bridge. Four innocent people are confirmed dead in the aftermath, with others facing “catastrophic” injuries!

At least 10 people were reportedly flattened as eyewitnesses reported that the man behind the wheel "deliberately" aimed the massive 4x4 vehicle at bicyclists and others walking along the bridge's popular path.

The attacker — described as a "middle-aged Asian" — succeeded in fatally slashing one officer before he was gunned down. Parliament and Buckingham Palace were both immediately put on lockdown. At the same time, police officers in cities across America announced that they were carefully monitoring the situation.
One eyewitness described the maniac as "an Asian guy in about his 40s, carrying a knife about seven or eight inches long."

Another shocked London resident described the attack on the murdered policeman: "This man had something in his hand. It looked like a stick. He was challenged by two policemen. The policeman fell down. We could see the man in black moving his arm in a way that suggested he was either striking or stabbing."
Police have not yet released the attacker's identity. In a troubling twist, the attack comes on the first anniversary of a horrific terrorist attack in Brussels
