A WOMAN has been seriously injured after a car was allegedly used as a weapon to drive at a crowd of people.
Cops arrested a man minutes after the crash in a pub car park in the Crossgates area of Leeds last night.
A motor was allegedly driven at people outside the Cock Beck pub shortly before midnight.
Cops scrambled to the scene and a woman in her 50s was raced to hospital with “significant” injuries.
The woman’s injuries are not understood to be life-threatening and no-one else was injured.
Minutes later at 12.17am a Toyota RAV4 collided with a Toyota Prius at a nearby junction.
The RAV4 is believed to be the same car involved in the pub car park horror.
Its 48-year-old driver suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries in the smash and was taken to hospital.
He has now arrested on suspicion of attempt murder, driving whilst disqualified and possession of Class B drugs.
The occupants of the Prius were also taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Detective Inspector Daniel Ridgway said: “The victim has been seriously injured in what appears to be the deliberate use of a vehicle as a weapon.
“We have extensive enquiries ongoing to establish the circumstances of what has taken place.
“We have already spoken to a number of witnesses at the scenes of both the initial incident on Pendas Way and the subsequent collision at the junction of Selby Road and York Road.
“But I would urge any witnesses who have not already spoken to us to come forward.
“I would also ask people who live or were in the area to check their CCTV or dashcam to see if they have captured any relevant footage.”
Anyone with information which could help cops should call Leeds District CID on 101, quoting crime reference 13240665210.
