Police said officers were called to Highfield Road last night after a parked car was hit by another vehicle, and accused its driver of trying to flee the scene and assault officers.

A picture released by the force showed a wrecked red Citroen car on the pavement - with one of its wheels ripped off - and a damaged Volvo stationary in the middle of the street.
