Second Arrest Made in Stirchley Hit-and-Run Investigation

Detectives are reviewing CCTV after seizing a van for forensic tests.

Overview

  • West Midlands Police arrested a 52-year-old in Birmingham on Saturday evening on suspicion of wounding, following a van collision that injured a pedestrian in Stirchley.
  • A 44-year-old was detained earlier on Saturday at London’s Euston station by the Metropolitan Police and will be questioned by West Midlands officers.
  • The Met later corrected its initial post to say only one of the two Euston arrests related to the Stirchley case, with the other for a separate offence.
  • The injured man, in his 30s, suffered serious leg wounds after being struck near Pershore Road and Ivy Road on Thursday night and remains in hospital.
  • Police say the van failed to stop, was recovered on nearby Prince Road for forensic work, and investigators are reviewing CCTV and social media while appealing for witnesses; in a separate Erdington crash on Friday, a car hit several parked vehicles and two men fled, with no injuries reported.
