After an argument in a disco in central London, a man ran over several people with his car. "Four pedestrians were taken to hospital and one person's life is still in danger," said police in the British capital. They arrested the 31-year-old driver for attempted murder.

"The suspect is believed to have been involved in an altercation at a nightclub before getting into his car and driving onto the sidewalk," said Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stuart Cundy. It was an isolated incident and not terrorism.

The crime scene is in the popular Soho district. The police are appealing for witnesses to come forward. There was initially no information on the age and gender of the victims.
