Four men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a hit and run crash in West Belfast. 

A man and woman, both aged in their 20's, were hit by a car near the Kennedy Centre on Andersonstown Road at around 2.30am this morning. 

They required hospital treatment, however police say their injuries are not life threatening. 

Both victims described being struck by a Black BMW car. 

A car matching the description was found a short time later in Gransha Park after colliding with two parked vehicles.

Officers detained four men, aged 27, 28, 28 and 30, on suspicion of attempted murder.

Detective Inspector Richard Thornton is appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident close to the Kennedy Centre or who witnessed the black BMW car being abandoned in Gransha Park to contact Detectives in Musgrave Police Station on 101
