‘There was a tremendous bang’
The witness, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “I was sitting inside the Long Dog Café peacefully enjoying my latte and looking out the window when and I saw an old BMW slowly coming up Claremont Street.
“And suddenly a Volvo appeared from around the corner and crashed into it. There was a tremendous bang and people from the café and from the corner shop went out to see what’s happening.
“Two men from the Volvo came out and started running. A passer-by tackled one of them and placed him on the ground, but the other one vanished around the corner.
“The driver of the BMW was quite shaken and the owner of the Long Dog Café just took him inside and tried to calm him while waiting for police to come.”
A police spokeswoman has confirmed one man has been arrested in connection to the incident and an investigation is under way.
