Man arrested on suspicion of GBH in North Walsham

A man has been arrested following an incident in North Walsham on Sunday evening.

Officers received a report on Sunday (18 October 2026) shortly after 11pm, in which a vehicle was used to mount the kerb on Recreation Road and drive into three pedestrians, before it fled the area.

Two of the victims were taken to hospital, one with serious injuries, and both were later discharged. The third man sustained minor injuries and returned home.

Following enquiries, yesterday morning (Monday 19 October 2026) a man aged in his 30s was arrested in Hoveton on suspicion of grievous bodily harm. He was taken to Aylsham Police Investigation Centre for questioning, where he was further arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class B drugs, namely cannabis.

The man has since been recalled to prison and has been bailed for the above offences while enquiries continue.
