A man has appeared in court charged with attempted murder after an alleged hit-and-run that left a 63-year-old woman in hospital.
Police were called to Muirhouse Parkway in Edinburgh just after 4pm on Sunday after a pedestrian was hit by a car.
Officers said the driver of the vehicle, a 61-year-old man, had fled the scene.
The victim was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary for treatment. Her condition is unknown.
Police later traced the driver, William Budge of Edinburgh, where he was arrested and charged.
He appeared before Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday charged with “assault to severe injury, permanent disfigurement, danger of life and attempted murder”.
He made no plea or declaration and will be remanded in custody until his next appearance in eight days.
