Woman badly injured by van in New Cross may have been deliberately targeted, say Met
Police are appealing for witnesses and any road users with footage after a collision in New Cross left a woman seriously injured.
The incident happened on Monday, February 10, shortly after 2pm in Milton Court Road. A pedestrian in her 30s was struck by a van.
One man has appeared in court charged with grievous bodily harm and causing serious injury due to dangerous driving. A second man, 46, has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and bailed pending further enquiries.
Officers and London Ambulance Service attended the scene and the woman was rushed for hospital for treatment. Her condition is not life-threatening but she is likely to suffer lasting injuries.
The vehicle involved did not stop at the scene but has since been recovered.
Officers are appealing for any witnesses or footage of the incident that could assist them in building a clear picture of what happened.
Detective Sergeant Jack Mounstephen, of the South East Command Unit, said: “At this stage, we are treating this incident as a deliberate act and need to understand exactly what happened in the build-up and aftermath.
