The gun-wielding man, who covered his face, can be seen pointing weapons at police personnel.
The man claimed that he approached Parliament to save the country, as it is currently in dire straits, per reports. “Our Country is about to disintegrate as a result of a conspiracy”, he further claimed.
Meanwhile, Police have seized a knife and the pistol from the suspect. The hand weapon didn't even have bullets in it, said sources. Police later shifted the man to the Secretariat police station.
