Concrete barriers placed throughout London following attack
British media reports that metal barriers and concrete blocks have been installed on bridges in London following Saturday’s deadly London Bridge car-ramming and stabbing terror attack.
“This morning you will see some hostile vehicle blocking on some of our bridges…..We will have more armed policing on and near the bridges and people should be prepared for that,” Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick, tells the LBC radio station.

A similar terror attack on Westminster Bridge close to the Houses of Parliament took place in March.
Israel has long used concrete blocks to protect pedestrians and security forces from ramming attacks by Palestinian assailants.
