Well done to the police in nabbing the cowardly scum driver so soon

QUOTE: "A teenager has been detained by police in Paris and arrested
on suspicion of ***attempted murder*** (EMPHASIS MINE) after a
cyclist was left seriously injured following a hit-and-run on Mount
Pleasant.

Police launched a manhunt to find a driver who “failed to stop” after
colliding with a cyclist at the busy junction with Holderness Road on
Wednesday afternoon.

Detectives appealed for help from the public after the 43-year-old
man was left hurt and police have now confirmed that a 19-year-old
suspect has been apprehended in Paris after boarding a train to
France overnight."

END QUOTE Obviously more to come after he gets in front of the
courts.

He's bound to get something for failing to stop after the crash. What's
the betting that he will get nothing for the standard of his driving
before the crash?


He is wanted for "attempted murder", so there must be someone who witnessed him DELIBERATELY driving at the cyclist, rather than merely an accident.

Otherwise, why would the criminal driver scarper to France if it was a simple RTA?

Also, he must be praying that the victim pulls through in hospital, I would assume, otherwise he will be in SERIOUS bother on a murder charge.
