Detectives are appealing for information after a 28-year-old man was deliberately hit by a car in Dumfries.

Police are treating the incident as attempted murder.

The man was struck by the car on Criffel Road, near Lincluden Road, at about 23:20 on Saturday.

He was taken to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary for treatment to serious injuries.

The car and its occupants left the scene, heading towards College Road and onto Newbridge Drive.

Police have so far established that a silver-coloured, five-door VW Golf with tinted rear windows was in the area at the time.

Det Insp Scott Wilson said: “Extensive inquiries are ongoing and we have been gathering CCTV footage from the surrounding area, which is being reviewed.

“Officers have also been carrying out door-to-door inquiries in the local area and will continue to do so.

“But I would also be very keen to speak anyone who was in the area at the time or has seen the car since then and may be able to assist our investigation.”

He added: “I would also like to hear from anyone who has dashcam, private CCTV or doorbell footage from the Lincluden area around the time of the incident.

“Any information, or footage, could prove vital, so please do pass it on to officers.”
