LONDON (Reuters) - British police said they had detained a man who crashed a car into a north London police station on Wednesday. There were no reports of any injuries. The Metropolitan Police said the incident took place just before 7 p.m. at Edmonton Police station which was then evacuated. The police said an investigation was being led by a local team with the support of counter-terrorism officers. The Guardian said the initial view was that the incident was not terrorism-related. There were no further details from police about the nature of the incident. Ambulances and fire engines were sent to the scene and a police cordon was put in place. Unverified footage on social media showed a car at the front of the station and a man appearing to start a fire on the street outside before being grappled onto the ground by officers.
