London terror attack: BBC News presenter makes unfortunate gesture during live report
THE BBC were reporting on the horrific terror attack which took place at Westminster this afternoon when an unfortunate gesture was made.
BBC studio in panic as Westminster attack news breaks
A presenter made the blunder during a report on the events unfolding in central London which saw a suspected terrorist reportedly mow down several pedestrians before attacking a police officer.
During the breaking news broadcast this afternoon, the presenters announced that they would be showing an eyewitness account of the attack.
Unfortunately, an irrelevant clip was then broadcast, which was not related to the events taking place in the capital.
Once the broadcaster realised the error, they cut back to the studio where one presenter could be seen making a cut gesture to the camera crew.
It wasn't long before she noticed she was back on air and mouthed, "I'm sorry," to the camera.
Of course, the presenter was simply trying to inform producers that they had broadcast the wrong clip when the gesture was caught on camera.
It was even more unfortunate that it was made shortly after the horrific terrorist attack.
Four people have died and 20 others are injured after two incidents in central London today.
A car is believed to have ploughed through dozens of pedestrians on Westminster bridge shortly after 2.30pm before the attacker reportedly attempted to enter Parliament.
They stabbed one police officer before being shot as he tried to enter the premises.
Police have said they believe there was just a single attacker but do not want to rule out an accomplice.
