A 46-year-old man has died and several others were injured after a car hit a crowd of people during violence in Sheffield, police have said.
Emergency services were called to College Close in the Burngreave area of the city on Wednesday at about 2pm “following reports of violence and disorder”, South Yorkshire police said.
The force added: “As the call was under way, a car collided with a group of people.”
A 46-year-old man died at the scene and numerous others were injured with one person in a serious condition in hospital.
The man’s next of kin has been informed and is being supported by officers.
South Yorkshire police said a 23-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and a 55-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder.
Senior investigating officer DCI Andrew Knowles said: “We are now dealing with a murder investigation and understand the distress this will cause to those directly affected and the wider community.
“We have a large cordon in the area and are conducting CCTV and house-to-house inquiries. We’ll be patrolling throughout the night to offer reassurance and to speak to anyone who may hold information or feel concerned.”
Officers said they were also keen to hear from nearby residents who had CCTV, doorbell or dashcam footage.
Anyone with information was urged to contact police online or call 101.
