It is believed the car was parked in Leeming Street prior to the incident and that the driver may have been involved in an altercation with people outside the Bowl in Hand pub.

Detective Constable Kelly Holloway: “Unbelievably the victim did not sustain major injuries and is currently recovering well. Had the car not struck the electric box this incident could easily have ended in tragedy.

“There are people in the video who witnessed what took place. We need to hear from them so they can help us find the person responsible.”

Nottinghamshire Police would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident or anyone who has any information which may help.
