A man who was among four pedestrians hit by a car on Christmas Day in the West End of London has died in hospital, the Metropolitan police said. They named him as Aidan Chapman.

Chapman, 25, was seriously injured in the incident on Shaftesbury Avenue and died on New Year’s Eve. Police said they were treating the death as homicide and an “isolated incident which is not terror-related”, and that a postmortem examination would take place in due course.
