Around 9.20pm last night (Sunday 7 August) we received a report that a vehicle had mounted the kerb and collided with a 15-year-old boy.
A 27-year-old man from Wythall has been arrested.
The incident took place near the One Stop on Drakes Cross Parade, Hollywood, Birmingham.
The boy was taken to Birmingham Children’s Hospital with injuries that were believed to be minor.
