Battersea car attack: Seven injured after vehicle driven into crowd of people in southwest London

Three people have been arrested in suspicion of attempted murder after a car was driven into a group of people in southwest London on Saturday night, police said.

Police said they had been called at 11.15pm to reports of a fight outside a hotel on Lombard Road, Battersea, before the incident happened.

Four people were also arrested for affray following the incident.

One man suffered a broken leg and six other people had minor injuries.

The incident is not terrorism-related, police said, with a crime scene established and enquiries are continuing.

Photographs show car parts and a wrecked bicycle strewn across the area where the car hit the group, and behind, the remains of the 4x4 vehicle were embedded into a wall with its bonnet ripped in half by the impact.

Over a dozen police vehicles attended the scene and the road was cordoned off.
