Police are appealing for dash-cam and mobile phone footage, after three people were injured when a car collided with them outside Sainsbury’s Pinhoe on Thursday [12 March].

Officers received reports at around 5pm and emergency services attended the scene, assisted by the police helicopter.

A 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving and assaulting a police officer.

The victim’s injuries were not believed to be life-threatening or life-changing. All three were taken to hospital and have since been discharged.

DI Dawn Perriam said: “We would like to thank members of the public who came forward to assist in the incident, many of whom we have spoken to and taken statements from. We would also like to thank the staff at Sainsbury’s for all their help.

“I am now appealing for anyone who took mobile phone footage or anyone who has dash-cam footage of the incident to come forward and submit this to us.”

Any witnesses are asked to call police on 101, or email 101@dc.police.uk, quoting log number 551 of 12/03/20.
