POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a Middlesbrough man was apparently deliberately run over, leaving him in need of hospital treatment.
The incident happened on Monday night in Bournemouth Road, Middlesbrough, at its junction with Ravendale Road, shortly before 11pm.
A white Mercedes car containing four men appeared to be driven deliberately at a 37-year-old man, knocking him to the ground.
It is understood an altercation had taken place earlier between the men outside the Fouralls pub, in Middlesbrough.
The car turned around and drove at the injured man before leaving in the direction of Lindisfarne Road.
The injured man was taken to Middlesbrough General Hospital but was later transferred to the James Cook University Hospital where he is being kept in for observation.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on (01642) 303126.
