A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a car struck several pedestrians on one of Derby’s busiest streets.

Derbyshire police said seven people were injured, sustaining “a range of serious but not life-threatening injuries”, in the incident in Friar Gate at about 9.30pm on Saturday. The force said that “contrary to online speculation” there were no deaths.

It said detectives were working alongside officers from counter-terrorism policing but were not yet designating the incident as a terror attack and were “keeping an open mind about the potential motives”.
