According to Daily express, the crash took place at approximately 12.35am BST on Wednesday outside the Al-majlis Al-Hussaini Islamic centre.
After crashing into the crowd, the motorist drove away.
Police confirmed two people reporting non life-threatening injuries were taken to hospital for treatment.
Confirming officers are investigating, a police spokesperson said: “Officers are currently retaining an open mind regarding the cause of the collision.
