Five men have been arrested after a car was driven into a group of people in south-west London.

Police arrested five men for affray after being called at 11.15pm on Saturday to reports of a fight following the incident in Lombard Road, Battersea, in which a man in his 20s sustained a broken leg. He was treated at the scene and then taken to hospital.

A second man, also believed to be in his 20s, sustained a head injury – his condition was unclear.

Two other people were taken to hospital, but they were not thought to be seriously injured. Six other people had minor injuries and were treated at the scene. The incident was not terrorism-related, police said.

The group were driven at after they left a nearby hotel, police said. Inquiries are under way to identify and locate the driver of the car who fled the scene before police arrived.

The five men arrested remain in custody but have not been charged.

Officers attended the scene alongside the London ambulance service.
