Surrey Police have issued a further appeal as they investigate an attempted murder in Farnham.

They were called to Farnborough Road last Friday night (6 November) at around 9:30pm.

Officers say a 52 year old had been "deliberately driven at" by a dark grey Mercedes which failed to stop and drove off from the scene.

The victim was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries and is still in hospital in a critical condition.

A 38-year-old woman from Watford was arrested on Tuesday (10 November) and released on bail.

Officers have released a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to, whom they are still trying to identify.

A vehicle, believed to be the one involved, has been recovered.

Police have released a photo of it (see below) and say it had "significant damage to its front windscreen at the time of the offence."

Senior Investigating Officer Detective Inspector Chris Rambour of the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team, which is leading the investigation, said: "We are determined to find those responsible for this offence, where a man has been deliberately driven at and left for dead.

"The team is carrying out a full and thorough investigation to try and establish the circumstances of this incident. Someone out there knows what happened and who is responsible for causing these horrific injuries to the victim. We are appealing for anyone who knows anything to come forward as soon as possible so that we can progress our investigation."
