Thankfully the video shows it was a „slower collison“ and not ones like we have seen in Germany. I read he had been taken into custody after stopping very quickly

We need to let the Police do their thing here but also 1) be truthful 2) directly combat the rise of miss-information that’s already going off the chain on Social Media.
Unless this is proven quickly to be a failure of Policing and something genuinely like a confused driver or a medical emergency (person having a heat attack or some such), then this is going to be a gift to the far right at this time and in this atmosphere.

Number 1, the footage clearly shows it was intentional and not an accidental old person in an automatic flooring it type situation.
Number 2, how the fuck is a car even allowed to get into that area or situation with masses of pedestrians around. Absolute failure on the policing side of things for that

There is a close up video from just before the incident showing the driver (who through the window appears white) having an argument with football fans, it seems to escalate and they smash his back window in before he speeds into the crowd.
I really hope the police get the narrative out as quickly as possible to avoid misinformation spreading.

Police have decided to announce the nationality and race of the driver. What an unusual thing to do

BBC reporting it’s a 57 year old white male that has been arrested…

there’s a bunch of videos, some from before the scene and some from after. sky news saying it was a 53 year old white british male.
looks like he was driving down the wrong street, was beeping his horn to try and get through, reversed into some people to try and get out, people started hitting his car and then he lost it and panicked
