A car ploughed into two men during a chaotic ‘knife fight’ in central London which left one with stab wounds.
A huge fight broke out near the London Central Mosque in Regents Park yesterday afternoon.
A man was found with stab injuries following the fight. Police said his injuries are not life threatening or life changing.
Another man was arrested on suspicion of affray and remains in custody.
Footage of the incident showed the moment midway through the fight, when a car barrelled into two of the men, knocking them to the floor.
It shows four men, dressed in black hoodies, engaged in a violent fight with each other in front of three buses in the middle of the road.
Some of the men appeared to be wielding knives and using them to slash towards one another.
A driver in a car then appears out of nowhere and runs over at least one of the men involved in the fight.

Traffic came to a standstill during the incident and cyclists and members of the public stopped to watch the drama unfold.
While one of the men is on the ground after being hit by the car, another starts slashing at him with a knife as he tries to make it into his getaway car.
As he tries to stand up again, he is pushed to the ground once more and kicked by another assailant.
A bystander also appears and motions to try and de-escalate the situation.
