Cordons remained in place outside Buckingham Palace on Thursday night (July 6) after a man handcuffed himself to the gates.
Metropolitan Police said they were called out to the incident, where a man, believed to be in his 30s, approached the gates shortly before 5.25pm.
He then handcuffed himself to the gates before threatening to harm himself, as a number of Met Police officers remained at the scene trying to talk to the man and resolve the incident.
