Six people were injured when a Ferrari ploughed into pedestrians on a pavement in south London.
Witnesses described "horrible" scenes as the car sent one pedestrian flying over railings and through the back window of a car on a street below.
One resident near the accident on Battersea Park Road, Battersea, told the Evening Standard: "I heard a boom and then just people screaming and crying.
"People were going crazy. There were people everywhere. Somebody fell over the wall and people were coming down to help. They all looked young."
Pictures showed the sports car with a cracked windscreen on one side.
Police, London Air Ambulance and London Ambulance Service attended the scene at about 10.30am on Monday.
Six people were taken to hospital but their injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.
The driver stopped at the scene and has been held on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
A London Ambulance Service spokesman said: "We were called at 10.28am to reports of a road traffic collision near Kirtling Street at the junction with Battersea Park Road.
"We sent a paramedic on a motorcycle, four ambulance crews, an advanced paramedic and an incident response officer to the scene along with our hazardous area response team.
"London's Air Ambulance was also dispatched. We treated six patients at the scene and took them to hospital."
