Journalist Keith Doyle was in the middle of giving a live update on the BBC about the ongoing court case involving youngster Charlie Gard.

He was explaining how there was tension outside between rivalling groups attached to the case when a man in a blue t-shirt appeared from the right-hand side.

Followed close behind was another man who appears to try to grab him. An oncoming red, double-decker London bus can be seen braking suddenly, with many onlookers either rushing to help or remaining still with shock.

Mr Doyle carries on with his broadcast, saying: "You can see there is a lot of people going on here. There's a lot of drama outside the court. I'm not quite sure what was going on then, but there are a lot of groups, a lot of supporters, a lot of media attention.

"There's lots of activity outside the court, but we'll bring you the details when it's a little less chaotic."

He's since tweeted saying the man who was pushed luckily only sustained minor injuries.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson has told The Independent: "Police were called at 3.10pm on Monday, 10 July, to reports of a collision outside the Royal Courts of Justice.

"A male pedestrian was reported to have been in collision with a bus. The man had an arm injury, which is not thought to be life-changing or threatening.

"Subsequent enquires showed the bus had not struck the man and this was not a traffic collision."
