The United Kingdom's lower chamber temporarily suspended a debate session on Wednesday as shots were heard outside, the Houses of Parliament said.
Television images showed police activity on Westminster Bridge next to the clock tower housing Big Ben.
House of Commons leader David Lidington told lawmakers in the House of Commons that a "police officer has been stabbed," adding that an "alleged assailant was shot by armed police."
Television coverage from inside Parliament showed the debate being brought to a close.
The Westminster parliament was reportedly on lockdown as police deployed security personnel.
