LONDON (Reuters) - Police arrested a man carrying a knife on Monday as he tried to gain entry to Buckingham Palace, the London residence of The Queen, just a month after another security incident at the central London building.

The 44-year-old man was searched then detained on suspicion of trespassing on a protected site and possessing an offensive weapon, a police spokesman said. The man remains in custody at a London police station.
