A man has been arrested after threatening staff at Brent Civic Centre in Wembley with a broken broom.
Footage shows an angry man banging on glass doors and attempting to storm the building while armed with a broken broom stick.
Security at Brent Civic Centre were seen holding a revolving door still while the man appears to be banging on the glass doors shouting at staff.
The man, who appears to be holding a broom, snaps the item in half before smacking the broken stick on the glass door. He could be heard shouting threats at staff.
According to Brent Council, this man was previously banned from the premises.
It comes months after 17-year-old David Wynter died after being stabbed in the same building on August 25.
Councillor Muhammed Butt, Leader of Brent Council, said: “The safety of our staff and everyone using the building is our highest priority. In recent months, we have strengthened our security procedures and arrangements.”
“This morning, an individual who was previously banned from council premises attempted to enter the building.”
“On being asked to leave the building, he became aggressive and returned with a road sweeper broom.”
“Our security team followed established procedures to keep building users safe, and dealt with the situation calmly and professionally.”
“We are grateful to the Metropolitan Police for their swift response.”
“Officers located and arrested the individual within 30 minutes of the incident.”
The Metropolitan Police has been approached for more information.
It comes on the same day hundreds of people were evacuated from a hotel fire in Wembley, and follows a Budget which Brent East MP Dawn Butler said brought five wins for the borough.
