UK: Roller-Skater Almost Collides With King Charles’ Car; ‘No Malicious Intent’ Says Cops | Watch

A local roller-skater almost collided with a car carrying King Charles III to perform a vigil beside Queen Elizabeth’s coffin on Saturday.

The footage of the incident showed a man on roller skates speeding towards the royal convoy that was carrying the King.

In the video, he appears all of a sudden, just seconds before the king’s car is about to pass near the Parliament Square in London. The man is then floored by nearly eight police officers, thus preventing any harm.
