Five people were injured after a car struck pedestrians, police said
A Somalia-born British man has been detained on suspicion of attempted murder after a car ploughed into pedestrians in London.
Five people suffered non-life-threatening injuries when a car struck shoppers in Ealing Broadway on Saturday. The Metropolitan Police said the driver fled the scene but was apprehended in nearby Grange Park shortly afterward.
“The driver, a 34-year-old Somalia-born British man, was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and attempted murder,” a police spokesperson said.
“While investigators are keeping an open mind as to any potential motive, the incident is not being treated as terrorism,” police said.
