A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after another man was left fighting for his life in hospital after being hit by a car in Middlesbrough.
A 37-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were both riding pedal cycles on Homerton Road at Pallister Park on Saturday evening, when they were reportedly hit by a white Vauxhall Insignia.
The vehicle did not stop at the scene.
Following enquires, officers believe the collision was a "deliberate act" and arrested a 20-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder.
The male casualty suffered serious head injuries and was taken to James Cook University Hospital, where he remains in a critical condition.
The woman suffered minor injuries and was released from hospital following treatment.
