A Birmingham man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after three pedestrians were injured in a suspected deliberate hit and run.
A Nissan Qashqai mounted the pavement in Burton Wood Drive, Handsworth on Saturday just before 2.30pm and struck a teenage boy and girl causing severe cuts and bruising, and leaving a 20-year-old woman with a broken leg.
The boy had been on a pushbike and was flung in the air with the bike landing on a fence. It was lucky all three were not far more seriously injured.
The vehicle drove off and investigations led us to a 50-year-old man being arrested on Tuesday morning (30 July). He remains in custody for questioning.
Police enquiries are continuing and anyone who saw what happened or has any information should contact police quoting crime reference 20/708072/24.
