Boris Johnson’s car struck from behind as protester runs in front of convoy

Boris Johnson has escaped unhurt after a security vehicle collided with the back of the car he was travelling in as he left parliament after prime minister’s questions. Video of the incident, on Wednesday, showed the grey Jaguar carrying Johnson pull out of the main gates of parliament as part of a convoy, including police motorcycles. As it left, a man believed to be part of a protest by Kurdish activists ran towards the prime minister’s car. Even though the man was pulled back by a police officer on foot, the car stopped suddenly, and a black Range Rover that was next in the convoy failed to stop in time.
