'People were going 20ft in the air': Eyewitnesses tell of harrowing attack

Good Morning Britain has spoken to a man who said he clung onto Westminster Bridge for his life as an attacker mowed down pedestrians next to him.

James Sheriff said he managed to jump out of the the way of the fast-moving car just in time and almost fell into the river.

"People were just going 20ft in the air and it just carried on and on. It must have hit about 20 people," he told our correspondent Louisa James soon after the incident on Wednesday afternoon.

"There were people around me that were injured. I think one young girl was dead next to me."

Moments later journalist Owen Letts watched from his office window underneath Big Ben as the attacker ran into the grounds of the Houses of Parliament, killed a policeman and injured two others and was shot dead.

He joined us this morning to tell Piers and Susanna exactly what happened. Watch the full interviews above.
