A man is in hospital with life-changing injuries after he was “deliberately driven at” and “trapped against a wall”, police said.
Two men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following the alleged incident, which police said took place just before 10pm on Friday, June 19, outside a Co-op supermarket on Fircroft Road, Ipswich.
Suffolk Constabulary said that the reported crash took place following an alleged earlier altercation involving the 20-year-old victim and the driver and passenger of a white Volkswagen Polo.
The car was then reportedly driven at the victim “deliberately”, trapping him against a wall.
The police said the driver and passenger then abandoned the car and fled the scene on foot, with the parties believed to be known to each other.
The 20-year-old man sustained open leg fractures which are described as life-changing. He remains in hospital in stable condition.
Two 20-year-old men were arrested a short time after the collision on suspicion of attempted murder.
Two other men, also aged 20, were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A and class B drugs.
Suffolk Constabulary said: “The four men were taken to Martlesham Police Investigation Centre where they will be questioned by detectives.
“A police scene was in place but the road has now reopened.”
