Man carrying bow and arrow in car arrested near Houses of Parliament

A man has been arrested after he was found with a bow and arrow in his parked car near to the Houses of Parliament.

He was further arrested for breaching legislation from the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act and for vehicle interference.
