Car 'deliberately driven into pedestrians' outside London station, police say

A car was deliberately driven into pedestrians in north London, injuring one, police believe.

The crash happened at about 2am on Saturday, 21 September, the Metropolitan Police said.

Officers believe the driver deliberately mounted the pavement after an argument earlier in the day, and hit “a number” of pedestrians.

It took place outside Highbury and Islington Underground station.

The Met said in a statement: “One man, aged in his 20s, was found with injuries and taken to hospital. His injuries have since been assessed as non-life threatening.

“It is believed that the driver of the car deliberately mounted the pavement and hit the pedestrians following an earlier altercation.

“The car, thought to be a black hatchback, was then driven away at speed northbound along Holloway Road.”

Anyone with information should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, quoting reference Cad 857/21Sep.
