London (HOL) — Five people were injured Saturday after a car struck multiple pedestrians in west London, police said.
The incident happened shortly before 2:30 p.m. in Ealing Broadway, according to the Metropolitan Police.

Police said the driver, a 34-year-old Somalia-born British man, was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and attempted murder.
The Metropolitan Police said counterterrorism officers were consulted during the initial stage of the investigation because of the nature of the incident.
