Moment UK Prime Minister Was Bundled Out Of Parliament During Yesterday’s Attacks (Photos)
While a man attacked Killing people on Westminster bridge And a policeman in the forecourt of the palace of Westminster, Britain’s home of parliament , Prime Minister Theresa May was in the building attendingl to business in her office after addressing parliament. She was immediately bundled out in her $500,000 bulletproof Jaguar state car and rushed to 10 downing street from where she monitored the situation.
Theresa May was led out of the Commons chamber by the SAS and bundled into a waiting bulletproof car and sped away, after the Westminster terror shooting.
A British Special Forces team attached to the Police Counter Terrorist Command spearheaded the search of the House of Commons for any other killers and oversaw the Prime Minister’s removal.
The SAS team, based at New Scotland, bundled her to safety, along with her usual security detail.
Minutes after the attack a fast-travelling RAF Chinook helicopter crew at RAF Odiham in Hampshire was alerted ready to fly in and evacuate the PM from the capital in case of a second attack.
A government source confirmed the Prime Minister is “OK.”
Tory MP Andrew Bridgen said Mrs May was marched out of the Chamber by: “the biggest plain clothes policeman I’ve ever seen”
The Prime Minister returned safely to Downing Street to chair an emergency meeting of the COBR committee later.
MPs were in the process of voting on an amendment to the Pension Schemes bill when the sound of gunfire was heard outside the chamber.
The Parliamentary Estate was placed on lockdown and the Commons session suspended by deputy speaker Lindsay Hoyle, with MPs being told to remain inside the chamber.
And most of them would have been safely inside the building in the voting ‘lobbies’, having their votes counted.
Nearby Portcullis House, the building opposite the Houses of Parliament on Westminster Bridge which houses most MPs’ offices, is being evacuated floor by floor.
Deputy speaker Lindsay Hoyle told MPs: “We can’t go anywhere for the moment so please, let’s just see if we can make the best of this horrible situation.”
“They (security detail) were professional but it was obvious from their demeanour that this was not a drill and something serious had happened.
“I’ve never seen the prime minister moved away by the biggest plain-clothed police officer I’ve ever seen. He put his arm around her and took her very quickly away.
“She was taken to her care and automatic weapons produced by the security detail and she was moved away very quickly.”
