He wrestled with the driver, who seized a revolver and fired several shots at the man and at police officers who arrived on the scene. The official said weapons and grenades were found inside the 25-tonne, unmarked articulated truck. “If this is a terrorist incident, as this appears to be, this represents a continuing threat to us in the whole of Europe and we must meet it together”, Johnson said. “People saw it in Paris twice, but they never thought it would happen here”.
