Three bailed in Leeds hit and run inquiry LATEST

Three men arrested in connection with a hit-and-run incident which left a 10-year-old girl fighting for her life and her two-year-old brother seriously injured have been released on bail.

Sabah Saleem and her brother Rayhan were knocked down by a car in Brudenell Road, Hyde Park, Leeds, on Saturday. (August 18)

Relatives have described Sabah as a “little hero” after it emerged she was probably more seriously injured because she was protecting her younger brother from the impact.
