Two people are in hospital after being struck by a display car at a busy shopping centre in Sydney.

A teenager was sitting in the SUV when it accelerated forward and hit a glass panel before it reversed into a department store, NSW Police said.

The incident happened at Westfield Liverpool at 12.30pm on Saturday.

A man in his 50s suffered minor head injuries and another in his 30s suffered chest injuries.

Both were taken to hospital in a stable condition.

Police said officers spoke to a 14-year-old boy who later left with a family member.

Images of the incident posted to social media show a red vehicle at a standstill next to a cosmetics counter, with mannequins lying flat on the floor nearby.

SafeWork NSW is investigating and a crime scene has been set up.
