The car, a VW Golf, was abandoned at the scene after the pedestrians were injured and a number of occupants made off on foot, Metropolitan Police said.
Detectives from Lambeth CID are investigating and believe the incident took place shortly after an altercation between the occupants of the car and a number of people in Stockwell Road.
A spokesman for the force added: “This is not a terrorist incident, and is not being treated as a hate crime.
“At this very early stage, there has been no arrest and enquiries continue to establish the circumstances.”
Stockwell Road remained closed at 2pm on Saturday (December 2) while detectives investigate and an appeal has been made for anyone who witnessed the collision to come forward.
Anyone with information is urged to call officers from Lambeth CID on 101 or anonymously call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
