Khater is charged with two counts of attempted murder. Police say that was an attempt to murder police officers.

The Metropolitan Police's counter-terror head Neil Basu earlier said Khater was not co-operating, while the priority of the investigation team continues to be to understand the motivation.

Prosecutors are treating the incident on Tuesday as terrorism, Scotland Yard said.

The Fiesta used in the alleged attack was driven from Birmingham to London late on Monday and spent nearly five hours in the Tottenham Court Road area.

He then crashed into barriers outside the Palace of Westminster and was arrested.

The vehicle continued on before crashing into a security barrier on the perimeter of the iconic building.

One injured person was treated at the scene and two were taken to local hospitals, where they were treated and released.
