Officers believe a car was deliberately driven into a 24-year-old woman on Foundry Approach, near the junction with Harehills Park View, at 12.42am on Saturday.

The woman was walking with two friends when she was knocked down by a silver Vauxhall Corsa, following an altercation with the occupants of the car shortly before.

The car then left the scene and has still not been found.
