A woman has been arrested and two people injured after a car reversed at a crowd of people and flipped onto its roof - narrowly avoiding a man's head.

The shocking incident - caught on camera - saw a group crowding around a red Volkswagen Golf, kicking at its doors and headlights.

It then reversed at speed towards a man standing in front of a parked car around 20 metres behind the Golf.

While it was reversing, the man moved out of the way and fell to the floor, but the Golf hit the stationary car and flipped, narrowly missing his head as he lay on the road.

Mobile phone footage captured the disorder, which occurred outside The Cock pub in Bartley Green, Birmingham, just after midnight on Saturday morning.

Two women were taken to hospital with injuries which are not believed to be life-changing, West Midlands Police said. No further injuries had been reported.

The force said its officers attended the scene and arrested a woman suspected of dangerous driving. She remained in custody this morning (Sun).
