A driver who mounted a kerb and allegedly mowed down pedestrians in front of a busy shopping centre injured at least one person.
Officers were called to a disturbance in Canberra’s Dickson shopping precinct at about 11pm on Monday night.
The man reportedly tried to start a fight with two bystanders before jumping into his vehicle and driving erratically.

The 35-year-old allegedly swerved his vehicle across the median strip and two lanes of traffic.
He then mounted the kerb, allegedly driving at the bystanders.
An ACT Police spokesman told Daily Mail Australia the driver’s actions were in no way related to an act of terror.
The man was arrested and charged with two counts of using an offensive weapon dangerous to a person, and common assault.
It is not believed the man was known to police.
He will face the ACT Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
