A man has been charged with a terror offence after he was arrested near Buckingham Palace with a metre-long sword.

The Metropolitan police charged the 26 year-old Mohiussunnath Choudhury under the Terrorism Act of 2006 "for engaging in conduct in preparation for giving effect to his intention to commit an act or acts of terrorism."

Police say three officers were injured in Friday's incident.

He will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court later on Thursday.
