A vehicle struck five pedestrians on a busy road in Ealing Broadway, west London, at about 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 27, 2026 [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Three of the injured were taken to hospital while two received treatment at the scene. None of the injuries were life-threatening or life-changing [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].
Timir Ahmed Mohamed, a 34-year-old Somalia-born British man, was arrested shortly after the incident in nearby Grange Park on suspicion of dangerous driving and attempted murder [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. On June 28, he was charged with five counts of attempted murder, dangerous driving, failing to stop, failing to provide a breath specimen, and criminal damage [2].

Social media videos showed medical personnel treating victims on site and many shoppers gathering nearby after the incident [5]. Emergency response included multiple ambulance teams and a helicopter air ambulance [5].
