Police are appealing for witnesses after a car allegedly drove into a man at Beaconsfield Services before fleeing the scene.

The man, in his twenties, suffered a broken rib, causing a partially collapsed lung, a cut to the head plus grazes and bruising.

An 18-year-old man from Flackwell Heath was arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent and dangerous driving and has since been bailed until April 17.

The incident occurred at around 3.40am in the car park of the services at junction two of the M40.

Police say a grey Vauxhall Corsa was being driven in circles before colliding with the man.

The man was taken to Wexham Park Hospital for further treatment but has since been discharged.

This followed an incident earlier in the evening involving the suspect and the man's friends.

The offender is described as a white man with medium-length, brown hair.
