A MAN was injured after a car was "driven at" Bradford City fans as they left a match at Valley Parade.

West Yorkshire Police are hunting the driver of a black hatchback-style car, believed to be a Mercedes A200, that supporters said forced people to jump out of the way as it drove along the carriageway and pavement in Midland Road.

The drama happened on Tuesday night as City fans left Valley Parade after the Bantams' 2-2 draw with MK Dons. Up to 4,000 supporters are believed to have been filing along Midland Road around the time of the incident.

One man, in his 60s, was in collision with the car and suffered leg and back injuries.

Police today said in a statement that they were called at around 10pm on Tuesday to a report of a black hatchback-style car driving erratically in Midland Road, Bradford.

"A further call was received a short time later to say a vehicle of similar description had been in a minor collision with a male in his 60s, causing suspected leg and back injuries.

"A crime has been recorded for an assault and inquiries are continuing to locate this vehicle, which is believed to be a Mercedes A200.

"Anyone with further information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting crime reference 13170096368."

One fan who saw some of the incident said: "It was mindless, a mindless act of dangerous driving. People like that should not be on the road.

"He had a complete disregard for anyone on that street. People were literally jumping out of the way.

"He was not trying to weave past people. He would have just bulldozed people out of the way."

Witnesses claimed the car, which is believed to have had two people in it, was travelling between 30mph and 40mph at the time.

Another supporter said: "He has driven at the fans. People had to jump out of the way. It was scary."
