A 60-year-old woman from Totton was arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.

Both have been released on police bail as enquiries continue.

This comes after we were called at 11.09pm on Thursday 24 October to what was initially reported as a suspected poaching incident on Netherton Road. On arrival, a man in his 50s was found with serious injuries.

It was reported that the man had attempted to confront a group of men he had seen in a field. The men reportedly got into a vehicle, which then struck the victim. The vehicle was then driven from the scene.

The man was taken to hospital with life-changing injuries but has since been discharged.
