Security guard run over outside St George Co-op – woman arrested
St George UK December 8 2019 A woman has been arrested in connection with an incident in St George in which a security guard was run over.
A black Audi drove over the victim, a man in his 20s, in Church Road last night (December 5) before leaving the scene.
He had been attempting to detain a suspected shoplifter at the Co-op at the time he fell into the road.
He sustained significant injuries including breaks to his ribs and arm and continues to receive treatment in hospital.
The car has since been recovered and a 43-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with the incident.
Avon and Somerset Constabulary say she remains in police custody.
Detective Inspector James Wasiak: “This incident could’ve been much worse and the victim is extremely lucky he escaped with the injuries he did.
“As part of our inquiry specialist crime scene investigators have examined the scene and I’d like to thank the public for their patience while we closed the road to do this.
“Officers also continue to review CCTV footage from the area and we will soon be questioning the arrested woman about the incident.”
He added: “We’re also keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident who hasn’t yet spoken to us as well as any motorists who may have dashcam of the Church Road area around the time.”
“If you can help, please call 101 and provide the call handler with the reference 5219281353.”
