U.K. prime minister Boris Johnson was involved in a minor accident outside the gates of Parliament in London, when the car he was traveling in was hit from behind by another vehicle in his motorcade.

A spokesman for Johnson’s office confirmed that a video on social media showed the premier’s car with a dent in the back. The security convoy stopped briefly when a protester rushed in front, causing the vehicles to back-up and leading to the collision.
