A 19-year-old man has been detained by French officers in Paris in connection with a suspected attempted murder in Hull last night. 

Police received a number of reports around 4.30pm on Wednesday 12 December that a 43-year-old man riding a bicycle had been seriously hurt near the retail park on Mount Pleasant.

It was alleged he’d been run over by a car.
