One person has died and 36 are injured, six critically, after a car ran into a group of pedestrians on the Las Vegas strip in an incident police have described as intentional.

Officials said the driver mounted the sidewalk at two or three separate locations, first mowing down pedestrians outside the Planet Hollywood resort and casino, before returning to the road and then driving back on to a footpath in front of the Paris hotel.

The driver, a woman in her 20s who has not been identified, was in custody after reportedly attempting to leave the scene of the crash on Sunday evening.

A three-year-old child who was in the car with her was unharmed, authorities said.
