The Met said the car is thought to have deliberately targeted the pedestrians.

PC Kimberley Pawson, from Brent CID, said: “Our investigation so far has led us to believe that the suspect deliberately drove his car and mounted the pavement hitting and injuring two innocent pedestrians.

"We would like to hear from anyone who might have been walking or driving nearby and may have seen something.

“Maybe a neighbour or someone you know has damage to their Mercedes and are being vague about the reason for the damage; or maybe you work in a garage and have recently repaired a silver Mercedes with some unusual damage. If you have any information, please call us as soon as possible.”
