Speaking at a briefing for journalists ahead of the coronation, Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan said the man had initially asked police officers if he could speak to a soldier.

He was searched and allegedly found to be in possession of a lock knife. He was then arrested on suspicion of possession of a knife and ammunition. During the arrest, the man told officers that they should handle his rucksack with care, which led to a controlled explosion being carried out on the bag.The blast, which could be heard live on GB News, happened as cordons were put up in the area just hours before a major military rehearsal of the coronation procession overnight.

Mr Adelekan said the suspect was detained within seconds and arrested within five minutes. He said he had no knowledge of reports that the man had been shouting that he wanted to kill the King before he was arrested.The suspect has undergone a mental health assessment and has been deemed fit to be interviewed.
