Sky News reports that local police have detained a man believed to be the driver of the vehicle.

He reportedly drove a small Renault car and attempted to escape from the scene before police intervention.

Car driver drove erratically up & down kerbs

According to multiple news reports, the driver drove erratically around the street, and went up and down kerbs before driving into a person on the street, killing them.

He drove around some more without stopping, and rammed his vehicle through the café area and then into a storefront window.

 

Actor John Barrowman, who happened to be in the area, described the incident as “pretty horrific”.

He also shared a video that showed a helicopter hovering over the site.
