Knife-wielding teenagers driving a Peugeot Partner (bottom

dominoes' in a horrifying attack in Islington. Two men and one woman were
injured on the lively Essex Road in north London before the driver and
passenger sped off then got out and fled on foot. Police who found one knife on
the pavement (top left) and one knife in the car arrested four males, aged
between 17 and 19, on suspicion of GBH with intent and of possession of points
and blades. With tensions high after four innocent people were killed in a
terror attack on Westminster Bridge on Wednesday, police insist last night's
incident was not terror related. One shocked witness told MailOnline that the
car came screeching around a corner at 'about 50mph' and crashed into people
queuing to enter the Old Queen's Head pub. Dramatic pictures from the scene
show three injured revellers (centre and right) being treated by paramedics
before they were rushed to hospital with injuries not thought to be life
threatening.
