At least seven people were injured after a car mounted the pavement and "deliberately mowed down pedestrians" outside the Natural History Museum in London, according to press reports.
A man, presumably the driver, has been arrested at the scene. He was pinned to the ground by police in front of stunned tourists shortly after 2.20pm this afternoon.
A close up photo of the attacker:
The Natural History Museum tweeted: 'There's been a serious incident outside the Museum.
Photographs showed at least four police cars and a number of ambulances parked on Exhibition Road, outside the museum, as officers dealt with the incident.
The photo below shows the car used in the attack.

As a reminder, this past March Khalid Masood, drove a car into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge, killing four people and injuring more than 50 people before he was killed by an armed officer outside the Houses of Parliament.
The following month Islamist terrorists killed eight people and injured another 48 after using a van to drive into crowds at London Bridge before jumping out and stabbing customers in bars and restaurants.
Car of peace again.
When are we going to ban these evil things?
No, first we need to ban Hotels.
Mayor Khan to blame a stuck accelerator and racism in 3... 2... 1...
Is it ramemdown ?
"Part and parcel," goyim.
LUXURIATE in the cultural enrichment as it washes over you, in the form of a 3000 pound automobile. FROLIC in the warm, wet, crimson stickiness of the Religion of Peace. RELAX as your "Freedumbs" drain the life from your body--literally.
Libtard solution: "Free" driving lessons for all people of muslim, rapefugee or other "diverse" descent.
Nah, with the Liberal Globalist Logic they’ll just use this as an excuse for driverless cars.
That dude looks pretty Amish to me.
Islamaphobia is the greatest threat to humanity! We must vigilantly gard against it!
The vicitms are partially at fault if they were not wearing the "Do Not Attack Me" bracelets that are for sale cheap all over Europe these days.
A Somali muslim with a car? On welfare and uses our tax dollars to buy a car. Ironic. Deport them all back to their scorched earth.
Cars will be banned in liberal cities in favor of gubmint provided transportation funded by massive borrowing. The buses will have their gubmint trained, incredibly well paid with YUGE pensions wating for them at age 41, diversity hires as captains. Just watch. Will they go driverless in the future? Not if gubmint unions have a say and full bankruptcy hasn't hit yet.
These "accidents" by innocent peoples of color with "poor driving skills" will be the impetus for this loss of liberty.
Looks like two taxi drivers had to jump in there and handle it till the Bobbies could make time to help between traffic tickets.
lets have a moment of silence while the judges and legislators lose their collective minds as to the motive behind the attack.
Hey, a £1,000 fine and time served will teach his ass.
People need to think about why the media gives so much play to the car-as-weapon meme.
Most of it is fake (Nice, Berlin, Stockholm, Melbourne, Westminster etc..)... and some of it is copycat real.
Thots and prares
"Things like this are going to happen in a big city..."
...now that the islamic rapefugees invaded.
Terrorists use guns, blame the guns.
Terrorists use cars, blame the cars.
Terrorists use kitchen knives, blame the kitchen knives.
Terrorists use poison, blame the poison.
Terrorists use the internet, blame the internet.
When on earth will we wake up to the ideological common demoninator.
I think it is the comma in each one of those sentences. Ban commas.
Commas already have been banned Comrade SoDamnMad - did you not check on the Current Truth(*)

Blame the Jews?
Is the common denominator Jews?
"The police have no motive why Al Ahkbar Mohammed el Kabob deliberately crashed into a group of innocent pedestrians."
Blame physics. Declare Newton terrorist. Build two kilometer monument to Mohammad
Notice how the media have started talking about drivers hitting crowds at the same time that they are promoting driverless cars.
Liberals fight for stricter vetting and background checks for gun buyers, yet oppose strict vetting and background checks for immigrants/potential tearrists.
That's odd.
Nice to see a couple forearm strikes were executed to the back of the fuckers head...because some people really need to taste the pavement.
Well done Bobbies..
Those guys sitting on him look like taxi drivers. Bigger balz than the bobbies nowadays I’m afraid.
Poetic !
Omar Kaslam would approve !!
[sigh] Can I have Mohammed in the sweepstake again?
It's time to exterminate all muslims. If it's brown it's down.
These low tech attacks can’t be stopped. They are succeeding and we are in trouble. Autos, knives, acid. Authorities can’t really do much to defend us against these simple tactics. Very, very, sad.
You can, however, defend yourself against many of these attacks. ANYONE with a car or a knife or a club or a screwdriver or a hammer can try to hurt others, anywhere in the world. Have we really become this pathetic that we expect the police to protect us from random shit like this?
Paying attention to where you are and what the fuck is going on around you would probably help you avoid more than half of them, easily.
Get you nose out of that goddamned cell phone and pay attention, your life could depend on it.

POS was simply misunderstood....
Hims wanted a real Bentley.
Minus .000005 points & fucks given for him taking matters into his own hands.
No points given to the libby-cuckholded Brit faggs who'll now bestow his radical muzzscum ass with a NEW Bennie Continental. Courtesy of the pommie taxpayers !
Talk about modern society's New reality :
The magistrates have concurred by edict : Bending the rules and gently Bent(ley)-dinging loyalist pedestrians is A-OK. Next !!
"Recommend steering clear..."
So the "Gentleman of colour" will be branded as a White supremacist?
Yes. He just has a really good tan.
He probably didn't mean to do it. The shop that sells acid to throw in people's faces closes early on Saturdays. I bet he was speeding in order to beat the clock and simply lost control.
The attacker was awake all night trying to decide whether to run through the street stabbing innocent people, or running over them the easy way.

I am guessing this is not a government run false flag operation. If it was 14 would have been killed and 38 injured ... or so it would have been plastered all over the mainstream news.
Is ISIS (the now almost defeated government run mercenary organization) taking credit for the event? For that matter is ISIS taking credit for inner city shootings, such as those in Chicago?
We need to ban high capacity fuel tanks and muti-cylinder engines, normal people just don't need such things :-)
Ban gas pedals

May will probably chair a "COBRA" meeting on Monday morning.
Great excitement when those happen - it's the only time the Downing Street tea lady serves Jammy Dodgers.
Clearly what we need is more James Taylor and a hashtag.
There is a potentially very dangerous similar condition outside of the British Museum where crowds of thousands of tourists line up along a large iron fence. The street appears to be open to traffic. The British/London government should correct this situation.
The same occurs at tourist attractions all over the UK.
At some point the people will realise their government cannot protect them. Period.
For some reason or another, they show you who they are.
Theresa May's speech was notable for a number of reasons. The comedian thing. The coughing. The not-even-a-metaphor sight of the party slogan literally falling off the stage. But here's something particularly strange: The prime minister was wearing a bracelet decorated with the image of communist painter Frida Kahlo.https://www.buzzfeed.com/jimwaterson/theresa-may-was-wearing-a-picture-o...
Tourist attractions = terrorist attractions?
