Images of four women police want to speak with after a ‘fail to stop’ collision outside a restaurant have been released.

The CCTV appeal has been issued by the Cheetham and Crumpsall division of Greater Manchester Police.

The force said a man was ‘struck’ by a car just outside the car park of Japanese restaurant Sakura in Cheetham Hill late last month.
