A woman was badly injured when she was crushed between two cars in a possible road-rage attack in central London.<\/p>\n
The Met said officers were looking into claims a Land Rover was driven at the woman, trapping her against a Mercedes, near Hyde Park Corner on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
The woman, in her 40s, was taken to hospital where her injuries were described as possibly life-changing.<\/p>\n
A 23-year-old man was Tasered and arrested at the scene on suspicion of affray.<\/p>\n
He has subsequently also been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and driving while disqualified in connection with the incident at about 20:15 BST, the police force said.<\/p>\n
Tourist Deepak Anand, 40, from Vancouver, Canada, was on a bus with his wife and son and filmed what happened at the junction of Grosvenor Place.<\/p>\n
Mr Anand said he saw a man trying to pull a driver out of a Land Rover, which then “accelerated on to oncoming traffic” before lodging the woman between the car and a black Mercedes-Benz.<\/p>\n
The Mercedes also hit a stationary bus but there were no reports any passengers were injured.<\/p>\n
Mr Anand said police officers arrived shortly after and Tasered a man.<\/p>\n
Witnesses said the woman could be heard screaming and fell to the ground after the cars were separated.<\/p>\n
Police said the woman had been taken to a central London hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “At this early stage it is believed she was the occupant of a car who became involved in a dispute with another car.<\/p>\n
“She had got out of her car before being struck by the other car as it attempted to drive away.”<\/p>\n
A second man, who complained of feeling unwell at the scene, was taken to hospital and has since been discharged.<\/p>\n
