Man seriously injured after being run over in Wellingborough as police link incident to nearby robbery

Police say they are linking a Wellingborough robbery allegation with an incident which left a man seriously injured after being run over.

In the early hours of Sunday morning (July 18) police deployed to Stone Close after reports that a taxi driver had been robbed.

But just minutes later they also received a report that a man had been run over in the same area.

He was taken to hospital with serious injuries which a police spokesman said are not believed to be life-threatening at this stage.

A 38-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent in connection with the incident which saw a man run over.

He has been released on bail pending further enquiries.

Witnesses or anyone with information should call police on 101.
