The incident happened in Derby’s Friar Gate area. Authorities said they had suffered “serious but not life-threatening injuries”.
Derbyshire Police said they arrested a man in his 30s, who was driving the black Suzuki Swift, shortly after the incident about 64km north of Birmingham.
“He was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, causing serious injury through dangerous driving, inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent, and dangerous driving,” the force added.
“The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident are ongoing and we are keeping an open mind as to the motives.”
Interior minister Shabana Mahmood said she believes there is no longer a danger to the public, “The police are actively investigating. We don’t believe there is wider cause for the public to be alarmed,”.
