Woman in her 20s was injured in the incident in Warwick

A Coventry man has been arrested on suspicion of a string offences after a woman was injured in a suspected hit and run.

Warwickshire Police says it believes the woman was hit with by a car deliberately following an argument.

The victim, who is in her 20s, was taken to hospital with serious leg and face injuries.

The collision occurred at around 11pm on Monday (May 13) on Victoria Street in Warwick and police are calling for witnesses to come forward.

The white Audi believed to have been involved was found a short time later in The Chantry having collided with a parked car and flipped onto its roof.

A 31-year-old man from Coventry was arrested nearby on suspicion of assault, dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, driving without insurance, making off from the scene of an accident and failing to provide a sample.

Police staff investigator Russell Marsh said: "Prior to the collision we believe the victim and suspect had a verbal disagreement in the car.

"The victim got out of the car and a short time later the collision occurred.

"At this time we are treating this as a deliberate act.

"We're keen to speak to anyone who witnessed this collision or the collision in the Chantry.

"We're especially keen to hear from anyone who has dash cam footage from the area around the time of either incident."
