On Saturday just before 2.30pm, a Nissan Qashqai mounted the pavement in Burton Wood Drive, Handsworth and struck a teenage boy and girl causing severe cuts and bruising, and leaving a 20-year-old woman with a broken leg.
The boy had been on a pushbike and was flung in the air with the bike landing on a fence. Police say they were lucky to have not been seriously injured.
Despite the vehicle being driven off, officers from West Midlands Police arrested a 50-year-old man this morning.
He remains in custody for questioning.
