A woman has been knocked over by a police car in south London.

Paramedics were called to the crash, which happened on a road between Camberwell Green and Denmark Hill, at about 13:30 GMT.

The Metropolitan Police said the woman, aged 27, was treated at the scene and it was waiting for an update on her condition.

Road closures are currently in place at Denmark Hill and Camberwell New Road.

One eyewitness said "there was a police car on blues and twos" and as it came round the corner, "she ran out, it was all within seconds".

The force added that no police officers required treatment.
