A British MP has been photographed attempting to save the life of a police officer killed in today’s alleged terror attack outside Parliament in London.
Foreign Office Minister Tobias Ellwood, who is a former British Army officer, tried to save the man’s life after he was stabbed by the attacker, who was allegedly attempting to enter the House of Commons.

The Conservative MP was seen with blood on his face as he attempted to perform CPR on the injured man, stemming the flow of blood with his hands.
Ellwood’s brother Jonathan, a teacher, died in the 2002 Bali bombings, which killed 201 people.
Speaking hours after the attack, Ellwood would not divulge much information given that he was a witness. “I am a witness, I was the last one on the scene before he died so I am not allowed to say anything,” Ellwood told The Sun.
“Number 10 has been in touch so I’ll get into trouble. It is now murder, I was on the scene and as soon as I realised what was going on I headed towards it.”
