A 22-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following an incident in which a car was driven into a group of people on Livery Street, Birmingham, early Friday morning.
The arrest took place at a property in the city just before 9am today, and the suspect has been taken into custody for questioning.
Police were called to Livery Street at around 3am on Friday after reports of disorder outside The Tunnel nightclub. During the incident, a car was driven at a group of people, injuring six individuals. Five of the injured were taken to hospital, with two remaining in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. One of those injured has been arrested on suspicion of affray.
Detective Chief Inspector Dave Sproson from Birmingham Police stated, “We’re working hard to understand exactly what happened and why. At this stage, we believe this to have been an isolated and deliberate attack linked to an earlier incident inside the nightclub.”
Police investigations are ongoing.
