Three men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a car was driven "recklessly" at police officers in south London.

The patrolling officers were targeted in Brixton at about 19:30 GMT on Saturday by a man driving a Citroen C4.

The Met said the officers had been approaching the car on Plato Road having identified the occupants as "behaving suspiciously".

As police approached, the car was driven at them. No-one was injured.

He was arrested by the officers, as were the two other occupants of the car.
