The air ambulance was called this afternoon to an incident in Brownhills High Street when a two ear old was hit by a van in what is suspected to be a hit and run incident.

The boy sustained a head injury that it not believed to be life threatening.

A 45 year old man was arrested in Lichfield Road.

There’s a report here at the Express & Star or click on the screenshot below.

Update: There’s also a report from the Birmingham Mail here.

I’m waiting for a statement from West Midlands Police which I’ll share as soon as it comes in.

My sympathies to all involved in this awful incident.
