The security guard acted after the maniac, who had just ploughed through crowds on Westminster Bridge, smashed a car into the gates of Parliament before fatally stabbing hero cop PC Keith Palmer.

Scotland Yard have confirmed the guard was on the scene and said he is being treated as a significant witness.

This morning Theresa May told the House of Commons the attacker, shot outside Parliament, was British-born and known to secret services having previously been investigated for violent extremism.

She told MPs he was a "peripheral" figure, adding "he was not part of the current intelligence picture."
