Passersby jumped on the car and tried to stop him. It’s unclear if they succeeded or if he just crashed.
Five people were injured, two with serious injuries, and are being treated on the scene.

A Met Police spokesperson said: “At this time, it is believed they have all suffered non-life-threatening or life-changing injuries.
“The car involved did not stop at the scene but was stopped in nearby Grange Park a short time later. The driver, a 34-year-old Somalia-born British man, was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and attempted murder.
“Due to the nature of the incident, local officers were in contact with officers from Counter Terrorism Policing London as they conducted their initial enquiries. While investigators are keeping an open mind as to any potential motive, the incident is not being treated as terrorism.”
Thankfully no deaths or serious injuries, but obviously still terrifying that something like this can happen in the middle of a Saturday as you’re just going about your business.
Naturally this story is exploding with the Reformers as soon as they saw the ‘Somali’ part, and that’s always going to be the case when something like this happens. Clearly this is one Somali who should not be in the country if he’s arrived here to start running random people over in the middle of Ealing Broadway.
Will be interesting to learn his motivations since the incident is not being treated as terrorism. More as it comes…
