A man was allegedly hit with a vehicle and then stabbed in an "attempted murder", police have said.

Hertfordshire Constabulary were called to Little Oxhey Lane, South Oxhey, just after 3.20pm yesterday (May 4) and arrested three men, aged 51, 35, and 34, on suspicion of attempted murder.

Police were pictured standing around a car that appeared to have been driven into a home, and the force have now confirmed the property had to be evacuated due to structural damage from the crash.

The victim was taken to hospital with “serious” injuries, but they are not life-threatening.

A manhunt was launched involving a police helicopter before two men were found and arrested by around 5.30pm.
