The incident occurred outside The Dolphin pub on the 6th of March at around 3.30pm, when Ali, driving a Nissan Juke, hit two pedestrians and immediately drove away from the scene.

The vehicle was found abandoned a short while later.

A second 31-year-old man suffered minor injuries.

Shortly after the incident, a 25-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. He was subsequently released on bail pending further enquiries.

Mr Ali was arrested yesterday and has been remanded in custody.

He is due to appear at Swindon Magistrates Court this morning.
