A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after five people were struck by a car in a town centre in Nottinghamshire, police have said.<\/p>\n
One man suffered life-threatening injuries and remains critically ill in hospital while four other men sustained less serious injuries after the incident in Arnold shortly before 1.10am on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Nottinghamshire police said it was believed the car, a red Vauxhall Astra, was driven at the group after an altercation in the town centre a short time earlier.<\/p>\n
A 40-year-old man was detained and remains in custody, the force added.<\/p>\n
Police said the driver abandoned the car and fled the scene on foot, adding counter-terrorism officers were not involved in the investigation and there was \u201cno indication of any ongoing threat to the wider public\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would ask that people do not speculate about the circumstances around the incident and respect the privacy of those involved.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur investigation remains ongoing and we are keeping an open mind while these extensive inquiries continue.\u201d<\/p>\n
