Several people have been struck by a car in Arnold this morning, with one person in life-threatening condition.
Nottinghamshire Police say they're investigating the collision that happened at 1:12am today, that involved a red Vauxhall Astra that was abandoned at the scene.
They said: "A number of people were struck by the vehicle, with one of the victims sustaining life-threatening injuries."
At lunchtime they've added that investigations have revealed an altercation took place in Arnold town centre a short time earlier.
One man was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Four other men suffered less serious injuries.
Counter Terrorism Police are not involved in the investigation.
Detective Chief Inspector Ruby Burrow, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“Although there is no wider risk to the public, this was a serious incident which will have caused concern in the community.
“We believe an argument has taken place in Arnold town centre and this has resulted in a car being driven at a group of people.
“We know five people were injured but we’d still like to hear from anyone else involved.
“Any witnesses who were in Arnold Market Place, or the wider town centre area around this time, should also get in touch.
“We'd appeal to anyone with relevant dashcam, CCTV, doorbell or mobile phone footage to speak to an officer.
“A number of roads are closed while investigations continue and we’d thank people for their understanding.”
Market Place and the junctions from Gedling Road to Derby Street, Hallams Lane and Central Avenue are closed off.
These closures will remain in place for some time, so motorists are advised to avoid the area, where possible.
Anyone who witnessed what happened or has any information relating to the incident is asked to share it with the police.
