A car has reportedly crashed into a crowd of people outside Amsterdam Central train station.

News agencies have reported that five people were injured when a driver ploughed into people outside the station before slamming into a wall.

Pictures taken at the scene show the area cordoned off and police said the driver has been arrested.

One bystander John wrote in Twitter: “Witnessed a car crash into a crow by Amsterdam central station. Terrifying!

“Police on scene immediately. Pulled man from the car before more harm could occur.”

Police tweeted that two of the injured have been hospitalized and three others have been treated at the scene. Police also said that the driver was parked in a place where he wasn't allowed to stop and drove off when approached by police on Saturday and ran into a wall.

Police also say the car has been searched and that the driver has been questioned.

No further details were immediately provided, including whether police believed the incident was an attack.
