A man has been accused of attempted murder following a car incident that injured multiple pedestrians outside a bustling shopping center in West London. Timir Ahmed Mohamed, aged 34, allegedly fled the scene at Ealing Broadway on Saturday afternoon, leaving five individuals harmed, with three requiring hospitalization.
Initial investigations were carried out by Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) London, but authorities have clarified that the event is not linked to terrorism. The Metropolitan Police announced on Sunday night that Mohamed, originally from Somalia and residing in Grange Park, Ealing, faces charges of five counts of attempted murder, along with offenses related to dangerous driving and failing to comply with legal procedures.
Mohamed is currently in police custody and is scheduled to appear at Willesden Magistrates’ Court on Monday. Fortunately, none of the injuries sustained were life-threatening or life-altering, with the two individuals not hospitalized receiving immediate care at the scene.
The London Ambulance Service deployed various resources, including ambulance crews, paramedics in rapid response vehicles, an emergency responder crew, and an incident response officer. Three patients were treated on-site, with one person being transported to a major trauma center as a priority by road, while the other two were taken to a nearby hospital.
