London (HOL) — A Somalia-born British man has been charged with five counts of attempted murder after a car struck pedestrians in west London, police said on Monday.

Timir Ahmed Mohamed, 34, of Grange Park, Ealing, was charged after Saturday’s incident near Marks and Spencer in Ealing Broadway.

The Metropolitan Police said Mohamed was also charged with criminal damage, dangerous driving, failing to stop and failing to provide a breath specimen for analysis.

He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear Monday at Willesden Magistrates’ Court.

Police said officers were called to Ealing Broadway at 2:29 p.m. Saturday after reports that a car had collided with multiple pedestrians.

Five pedestrians were injured. Two were treated at the scene, while three were taken to hospital.

Police said the injuries were not life-threatening or life-changing.

Counter Terrorism Policing London was initially involved in the inquiry because of the nature of the incident, but police said the case is not being treated as terrorism.

The London Ambulance Service said it sent several emergency resources to the scene, including ambulance crews, paramedics in fast response cars, a volunteer emergency responder crew and an incident response officer.

London’s Air Ambulance was also dispatched.

The ambulance service said three patients were treated at the scene. One was taken by road to a major trauma center as a priority, while two others were taken to a local hospital.
