Dr_Pangloss Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Several people have been injured after a car reportedly mounted the pavement and hit pedestrians in a busy tourist area in west London. Police descended on an area outside the Natural History Museum in South Kensington on Saturday. Scotland Yard said officers were called to reports of a collision at 2.20pm in Exhibition Road. A man was arrested at the scene, police said. A Met Police spokesman said: "It is believed that a number of pedestrians have been injured. "Officers are on scene, and the London Ambulance Service have been called. "A man has been arrested at the scene. "Enquiries to establish the circumstances and motive are underway." https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/south-kensington-police-descend-on-area-outside-natural-history-museum-after-car-hits-pedestrians-a3652986.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Having drove around there before I would say that it is a very confusing layout indeed, could well be down to moronic driving rather than it being an attack, although the police have to proceed as if it were for obvious reasons.

andym Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Seeing the footage on the news of the driver being held down, people weren't exactly fleeing in panic like you would think if it was a terror attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 BBC are (rightly) being very cautious, Sky News appear to be willing this to be terror related for advertising purposes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted October 7, 2017 Moderator Share Posted October 7, 2017 Reuters, who were reporting this as not terrorism, have changed their minds and said that police are keeping an open mind. So, might well be terrorism again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
