Police investigating an alleged serious assault in Napier are appealing to the public for help, after someone driving a white sedan allegedly “drove into the victim”.
At about 3.10pm yesterday, officers were called to the intersection of Latham St and Bedford Rd “where a person was seriously injured”.
A police spokesperson said: “The victim was working on a vehicle outside an address, when two vehicles arrived on scene.
“The two vehicles are described as a white Japanese-manufactured sedan, and a silver Ford Mondeo. Multiple people got out of the vehicles and approached the victim.
“An altercation took place, before the white vehicle drove into the victim, before they were assaulted further while on the ground.”
The person was taken to hospital with serious injuries and is now stable following surgery, the spokesperson said.
“Police would like to hear from anyone in the Latham St and Bedford Rd area who witnessed this incident, or anyone with CCTV footage of the above vehicles.”
People with information were urged to call 105.
