British counter terrorism officers are assisting police after a driver who struck pedestrians in the city of Derby on Saturday night was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, police said yesterday.
The incident occurred at 2130 GMT on Friar Gate, a usually busy street in the city centre.
Seven people suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries and were treated at the scene before being taken to hospital.
Derbyshire Constabulary said it was “keeping an open mind” about the motive, and that while counter terrorism officers were assisting the investigation, the incident was not currently being treated as terrorism.
