An investigation is continuing after a car drove at a group of people and "tried to run them over" in a Norfolk park.

A police probe began after reports a dark-coloured – possibly navy – vehicle had been seen driving erratically at a group of people in St George’s Park, Great Yarmouth at about 10.20pm on September 5.

As previously reported, Kerry Bauer, 43 and a full-time mum, who witnessed the ordeal from her window on St George’s Road, said: “It was trying to run people over.

“I could hear a lot of screaming. It was chasing people around the park.

"If the cenotaph wasn’t there, people could have been severely hurt. There were like ten to 15 kids around the park.

"I was slightly scared and worried. I had never seen anything like that ever before. It made me think that we are getting more and more like America every day.”

Anyone who witnessed the incident or who might have information is urged to contact police on 101, quoting 548 of September 5.
