A man has been stabbed outside a Government building in central London.
One man has been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm after the assault on Marsham Street in Westminster.
The victim went inside the Home Office building for help. The building is on lock-down.
All my thoughts are with the victim and their family following horrific unprovoked knife attack on Marsham Street.
