A man has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and attempted murder after five pedestrians were injured when a car drove into them in west London.
The 34-year-old Somalia-born British man was stopped and arrested by officers nearby, as the car failed to stop at the scene in Ealing, according to the Met.
A force spokesman said: “Due to the nature of the incident, local officers were in contact with officers from Counter Terrorism Policing London as they conducted their initial enquiries.
"While investigators are keeping an open mind as to any potential motive, the incident is not being treated as terrorism.”
Two of the pedestrians were treated at the scene on Ealing Broadway after the incident at 2.30pm today, and three were taken to hospital - although none have suffered life-threatening or life-changing injuries.
