Attempted murder charge after man knocked down near Wolverhampton
A man has been charged with attempted murder after a van driver was left with life-threatening injuries after being knocked down near Wolverhampton.
Three people, all from the West Midlands, are due to be in court this morning after the incident earlier this week.
A 22-year-old man was struck in Paradise Lane, Slade Heath, near Featherstone, at around noon on Monday.
Staffordshire Police were called to a report of a white pick-up truck which had been in collision with a man, whose own white van was stolen shortly before.
The victim remains in a stable condition in hospital today, a Staffordshire Police spokesman confirmed.
Mitchell Rose, 27, of Redshank Road, Waters Keep, has been charged with attempted murder, conspiracy to steal a motor vehicle and assault of an emergency worker.
Brian Atkinson, 40, of Parker Street, Walsall, and Carol Davies, 38, of Yew Tree Road, Shelfield, Walsall, have both been charged with conspiracy to steal a motor vehicle.
All three will appear at North Staffordshire Justice Centre this morning.
A 33-year-old woman and a 18-year-old man, both from Walsall, have been bailed until March 28, in connection with the incident. A 59-year-old woman, from Walsall, has been released under investigation pending further enquiries.
