Police are appealing for witnesses after a car collided with a pedestrian after an "altercation" between two men.

Officers want to speak to anyone who may have seen the incident in Union Street, Faversham, on Wednesday at around midday.

It is alleged that, following an altercation involving a man in his 20s who was standing in the road and the driver of a stationary silver convertible BMW, the vehicle began moving and hit the victim.

Investigating officer PC Charlotte Grant said: "Fortunately, the pedestrian did not suffer any serious injuries and enquiries by our officers have since established the identity of the driver.

"We are now appealing for anybody who saw the incident and has not yet spoken to the police to call the appeal line."
