London, June 25
Six people, including three children, were injured when a car mounted a kerb and ploughed into a crowd of people participating in an event to celebrate Eid outside a sports centre in northeast England today.
The police said the incident in Newcastle was not believed to be terrorism-related but a full investigation was underway.
“As previously stated there is nothing to suggest that this is terror related. A 42-year-old woman is currently in police custody and police are not looking for any other suspects at this time,” a Northumbria Police statement said.
One of the children is said to have been critically injured. Hundreds of people were at the event this morning to mark the end of Ramzan. — PTI
