Two men have been injured in a hit-and-run outside a mosque, with detectives saying they have not ruled out terror as a motive.
The men, aged in their 20s, were struck on Ettington Road in Aston, Birmingham, at about 14:15 BST.
One of the men suffered a head injury while the other was said to be "walking wounded".
Police are searching for the driver of a silver car who did not stop at the scene.
Det Insp Greg Evans said: "At this time we have not ruled in or out the potential that this could be terror-related, but we're keeping an open mind until we have investigated further."
He appealed for witnesses and anyone with dashcam or CCTV footage to contact police.
The reason I am posting this is because the masjid that was targeted, or the masjid where the incident occurred (not yet clear which one) was Shah Jalal Masjid, which is the one I go to and is very close to my house - the incident had taken place at the time of / after Jumu'ah salah.
May Allah grant shifa to those who were injured.
وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلًا مِّمَّن دَعَا إِلَى اللَّـهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا وَقَالَ إِنَّنِي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
