A man has been charged with attempted murder after a car hit several people on a busy shopping street in west London.

Five people were injured, with three taken to hospital, following the incident on Ealing Broadway at about 14:30 BST on Saturday. None of the injuries were believed to be life-threatening.

He was remanded in custody and is due to appear at Willesden Magistrates' Court.

London Ambulance Service said several crews and an air ambulance were involved in the response.

It said three patients were treated at the scene, with one then taken to a "major trauma centre", while two others were taken to a local hospital.
