PM’s convoy targeted by protester

PRIME MINISTER Boris Johnson's convoy was targeted by a protester as it left the gates of Parliament today.

The demonstrator, who had been protesting about Turkish action against Kurdish rebels, ran into the road outside the Palace of Westminster as Mr Johnson's convoy left following Prime Minister's Questions.

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 then drove off, with a dent visible in the back of the Prime Minister's car.

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."

A Metropolitan Police spokesman confirmed that two police vehicles were involved in the collision and that a man was arrested at the scene.
