Police appeal after car hits pedestrians in Beddau

South Wales Police are appealing for witnesses after a car collided with two members of the public in Beddau before leaving the scene. Officers were called at 9.05pm on Saturday, October 31, following reports of the incident on Tynant Road.

Minor injuries were reported, and investigations are ongoing. The vehicle involved is described as a black SUV, which failed to stop after the collision.

Video shows altercation before collision

Footage of the incident shows a group of around eight people gathered on a zebra crossing as an altercation breaks out. The woman recording the video repeatedly says "Oh my God" as two people become involved in a physical fight.

A man appears to throw a punch at another person before others rush in. At one point, two people fall on top of one another as shouting is heard in the background. The situation escalates as a motorist driving a car approaches the group, prompting screams and shouts.

Car mounts kerb and drives toward group

The footage then shows a car turning at a junction before mounting the kerb and driving towards a group of people. One person can be heard shouting: "Who the f*** is driving?" The vehicle stops near the zebra crossing, with several people approaching it before it sets off again.

The person recording warns: "They are coming back round." The car is subsequently seen mounting the kerb again, circling back onto the road, and driving away. A scream follows, with the person recording shouting: "Someone has been run over."

Police appeal for information

The footage captures scenes of panic, with several people screaming and shouting as a large group gathers in the road. The aftermath shows police officers at the scene with emergency blue lights flashing.

In an appeal on Tuesday morning, a spokesperson for South Wales Police said: "Anyone with footage or information is asked to get in touch with South Wales Police, quoting 2600313735. You can do so via email, calling 101 (999 in an emergency) or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 55511."
