A car was allegedly driven into a police station in the UK capital tonight, witnesses said.
The Metropolitan Police say a man has been arrested following a shocking incident, with witnesses claiming a man drove his car into the Edmonton police station in north London.
Many reported that a man had failed to knock on station doors on Fourth Street before pouring flammable liquid into the road and car and sorting things out properly.
Police have confirmed that a man was arrested, with which the Sadar police station was cordoned off and taken out.
Footage posted on Twitter shows a man pouring flammable liquid on the road before the fire broke out.
Footage later showed three police officers stopping a man on the ground from where he was seen jumping out of a police station after his car was wrecked.
A Met Police spokesman said: “A vehicle collided with a station office at the Edmonton Police Station on Wednesday, November 11, at about 18:58 p.m.
