Just after midday a high speed police car ran over a pedestrian in Camden High Street.

It is uncertain whether the pedestrian is dead but an eye witness said it is doubtful the victim survived.

The eye witness, who did not want to be named, said he heard a police siren and a car speeding up from Mornington Cresent.

As the police car passed him, accelerating as it passed, ahead was pedestrian crossing the road. The police car hit the pedestrian, knocking him over the car, his body smashing the windscreen as he went over.

The police car stopped immediately, the body of the pedestrian lay unmoving in the road.

On journalist said the police stated the victim still breathing.

Police officers intervened and cordoned off Camden High Street for at least an hour.
