Driver jumps sidewalk, plows into crowd in London Christmas horror
2024-12-25
[NY Post] 48 hr rule
A London driver was busted for attempted murder after he jumped a sidewalk and crashed into a crowd of people early Christmas morning, sending four to the hospital, according to police.

The 31-year-old man was driving on the wrong side of the road in Shaftesbury Avenue in the heart of London’s busy West End theater district around 12:45 a.m. when he smashed into the pedestrians, the BBC reported.

One of the victims suffered life-threatening injuries, according to the Metropolitan Police — who confirmed this was an isolated incident and not terror related.
Would you even say it if an "Allahu Akhbar" was issued?
Police believe the suspect "was involved in an altercation at a nightclub prior to getting in his car and mounting the pavement," Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stuart Cundy said.

Authorities cordoned off an area outside of the Sondheim Theater, where the popular musical Les Misérables is currently playing, according to Sky News.

"In the Sondheim's diverse new Les Mis,
Pak detective in shalwar kameez
Runs his ramshackle car
Over penitent star
As old enmity crosses the seas."
