LONDON (Reuters) - A man has been charged with a bomb hoax after an incident outside the United States Embassy in London on Friday, British police said on Monday.

Daniel Parmenter, 43, who has been charged, was arrested on Sunday after a search of his home address. He was remanded in custody at a court hearing on Monday and will appear at the Old Bailey on 23 December, police said in a statement.

"There are no current links between this investigation and any similar incidents of reported suspicious packages in recent days," the statement added, after other security incidents were flagged since Friday.
