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.
