A 53-year-old male suspect has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving offences, and driving while unfit through drugs, police say.

The suspected driver of the car is believed to have followed an ambulance onto Water Street, which had previously been blocked. Access had been temporarily lifted to the emergency vehicle so first responders could attend to a person suffering from a suspected heart attack. 

Fifty people were hospitalised and 11 of these patients remain in hospital - all are in a stable condition and "appear to be recovering well", authorities add.

Police say they will continue to support the victims of the attack, while an extensive CCTV search is ongoing to understand the driver of the car's movements.

The police repeated that the incident is not being treated as terrorism, and urged the public not to share distressing content online or speculate about the motivations behind the incident.
