Pedestrian hospitalised as police arrest man over north Belfast hit-and-run

Police say a 35-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving causing grievous bodily harm after a hit-and-run on Glandore Avenue in north Belfast; a pedestrian in his 50s was taken to hospital with injuries not believed to be life-threatening, and investigators are seeking dash-cam footage. Reports also tie the incident to a recent spate of North Belfast hit-and-runs, including a fatal York Street collision earlier this month, with air ambulance involvement noted in some coverage.
