Man arrested after car ploughs into pedestrians in West London

Police have arrested a 34-year-old man of Somali origin on suspicion of attempted murder and dangerous driving after a vehicle struck multiple pedestrians in west London before fleeing the scene.

The incident unfolded on Ealing Broadway on Saturday afternoon, leaving five people injured.

Two victims were treated at the roadside, while three others were taken to hospital, although authorities said none suffered life-threatening or life-changing injuries. Officers quickly located and arrested the suspect nearby after the car failed to stop.



Counter Terrorism Policing assisted local detectives during the initial investigation, but the Metropolitan Police said the case is not currently being treated as terrorism, while inquiries into the motive continue. Emergency crews, including London’s Air Ambulance, responded to the scene outside Marks and Spencer, where roads remained closed for several hours. Video shared online appeared to show members of the public attempting to stop the fleeing vehicle before police intervened.

    • Lone wolf. Isolated incident. Mental health issues. It was a sexual emergency. Nothing whatsoever to do with immigration or islam. Stop spreading harmful right wing rhetoric. It’s just part and parcel. That’s not who we are. Black lives matter ✊🏾. Get vaccinated!

      Am I forgetting any?

  1. “The incident unfolded on Ealing Broadway on Saturday afternoon”
    It seems that journalists can’t do without certain words such as ‘unfolded’, ‘multiple’ and ‘epicentre’.
    What’s wrong with
    “The incident occurred on Ealing Broadway on Saturday afternoon”

  2. UK cops are constantly trying to minimize or downgrade migrant offending with “not life threatening” and “enquiries into the motive continue”… Fear of public backlash by withholding the true motive will have the same effect.

  3. I bet the fella gets a cushy payout and no charge laid… because he is BLACK…AND IMPORTED…AND HE IS DOING HIS JOB WELL.. DISRUPT AND DESTROY THE BRITISH CULTURE … What Starmer and the Pollies want.. under orders from the WEF, the globalists…
