Boy, 17, Arrested On Suspicion Of Using Car To Injure Pedestrian

There's an appeal for witnesses following a collision between a grey Jaguar and a group of pedestrians.

Police were called to Blackman Avenue around 3pm on Tuesday, January 3, after a car was seen driving up and down Blackman Avenue prior to the collision.

It made off afterwards in the direction of the traffic lights at Battle Road.

One of the pedestrians suffered serious injuries requiring hospital treatment. He has since been discharged.

A 17-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent and released on conditional bail while enquiries continue.

Officers investigating the collision are keen to speak to anyone who saw what happened, or who may have captured any dash cam footage of the car being driven in the area around the time of the collision.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police online or by calling 101 quoting serial 738 of 03/01. Alternatively, information can be passed to police anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
