London: The Metropolitan Police on Tuesday said a man was arrested after he allegedly threw shotgun cartridges into the grounds of Buckingham Palace in London.


"Officers quickly detained a man at around 19:00hrs on Tuesday, 2 May after he approached the gates of Buckingham Palace SW1 and threw a number of items - suspected to be shotgun cartridges - into the Palace grounds," read a statement issued by the police.

"These have been recovered and will be taken for specialist examination,"

The man has been arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon after he was searched and a knife was found.
