In a shocking incident, a car collides with the front gates of Downing Street, London where United Kingdome Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's office and residence are located. The police initiated an inquiry into the matter.

A video clip on social media shows a white passenger car with its boot open slammed into the gates of Downing Street, which is significantly protected with barriers and a solid double-barrel black iron gate at all times.

Police officials arrested one person after the incident in London. "At around 16:20hrs [local time] a car collided with the gates of Downing Street on Whitehall,” the Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

"Armed officers arrested a man at the scene on suspicion of criminal damage and dangerous driving. There are no reports of any injuries. Inquiries are ongoing,” he added.

Officers could soon be seen winding down their operation even as most of Whitehall, the main political hub of London between Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square, was cordoned off.

Officials inside Downing Street have reportedly been asked to stay indoors and it remains uncertain whether Sunak was in his office at the time of the incident.
