A man has been charged with attempted murder after a vehicle hit pedestrians on a busy west London road.

Timir Ahmed Mohamed, 34, has been charged with five counts of attempted murder as well as dangerous driving, failing to stop, failing to provide a specimen of breath for analysis and criminal damage, the Metropolitan police said on Sunday.

A total of five pedestrians were injured after the alleged incident on Ealing Broadway, Ealing, at about 2.30pm on Saturday.

Two were treated at the scene and three were taken to hospital where their injuries were found to be non-life-threatening and non-life-changing.

Mohamed, a Somalia-born British man, has been remanded in custody and will appear at Willesden magistrates court on Monday.

Counter-terrorism policing London conducted initial inquiries, but it is not being treated as terrorism.
