Police said they were called to Meden Way after receiving reports a man had been hit by a car

A man has been arrested after a BMW driver hit a man with his car before attacking the victim with a brick.

Nottinghamshire Police said they were called to Meden Way in Retford at about 17:00 BST on Tuesday after a man was hit from behind by a vehicle.

The driver is alleged to have left his car and picked up a brick from a garden to continue the assault.

The 40-year-old was found nearby and arrested on suspicion of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm.

Police said the victim was "not seriously hurt" and left the scene on a bike.

Det Sgt Andrea Brown said: "We believe the two people involved are known to each other and would like to reassure residents that we are satisfied there is no wider threat to the local community."
