London Bridge has been evacuated after several people were reportedly mowed down by a vehicle.

A white van veered off the road on the bridge and hit five or six people on Saturday.

The British police, meanwhile, said it was dealing with an incident as some 120 police cars were seen heading towards the bridge.

The bridge has been closed at the request of police.
