A man has been arrested after a cyclist was seriously injured in a hit-and-run in Walsall.
Police detained a 20-year-old man at his Bloxwich home on Monday.
West Midlands Police said the arrested man has since been released while enquiries continue.
The victim, a 44-year-old man, was hit by a dark 4x4 on Bridge Street, in Clayhanger, at about 6.45pm on Saturday.
A Land Rover defender has been recovered for forensic examination.
The victim suffered serious injuries and remains in hospital in a critical condition.
Sergeant Alan Hands, from the Serious Collision Investigation unit, said: “Although this arrest is a big step forward in our investigation, we are urgently appealing for anyone who saw a dark blue Land Rover defender in the area around the time of the collision.
“We need to work out exactly what happened and I’d also be interested in hearing from anyone who has dashcam footage before or after the collision, or saw the car leaving."
Anyone with information can call police on 101 quoting log 3013 of March 7.
