A woman was struck by a car while ‘checking on the welfare of a dog’ in Swindon.

The victim, aged in her 50s, was concerned about a dog locked in a silver car parked on Birch Street on the morning of Thursday 25 July.

She tried the vehicle’s door handles before a man appeared and started shouting at her.

He proceeded to get into the car, reversing into the woman – who was using a walking frame. She was knocked to the ground, and suffered head and leg injuries.

The man then drove away from the scene.

Wiltshire Police is appealing for witnesses to contact them by calling 101 quoting reference number 54240087196.

Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
