The car, a grey VW Golf, has been recovered and is being forensically tested.

DCI James Spencer, of Birmingham Police, said: “We’ve been carrying CCTV and witness enquiries in the area since this report came into us, but have so far not been able to identify any of the people involved.

“It’s vital that we get to the bottom of what happened, and I know there were people in the area at the time who have not yet come forward but who have seen something.
