The incident happened in the very centre of London on March 22nd near British Parliament. The stranger in a car ran over the pedestrians on the Westminster bridge, ran out of the car, attacked a policeman with a knife and tried to enter the locations of British Parliament. The incident happened this day two years after the terroristic attacks in subway and airport of Brussels.
