A popular livestreamer was arrested outside Parliament following reports of a group of men carrying a firearm.

Krimoe, a streamer with over 48,000 followers on livestreaming platform Twitch, was broadcasting in Westminster before he was arrested at about 22:50 GMT on Saturday.

An imitation weapon was seized at the scene. During the arrest an officer can be heard saying a firearm had been seen on camera.

The Metropolitan Police said 11 men were arrested on suspicion of possession of an imitation firearm in a public place.

All men have since been bailed pending further inquiries, the Met added.

The imitation firearm was said to be a BB gun the men were brandishing.
