Two people have been arrested in connection with a hit-and-run in which a suspected stolen car careered into a pedestrian and flung him into the air.
The 53-year-old was left seriously injured after being hit by a Fiat 500 as he crossed Montague Place in the Kemptown area of Brighton.
Footage of the incident, in which horrified witnesses stand by in disbelief as the man lies sprawled motionless in the road, has been viewed more than a million times.
A 31-year-old man from Brighton was arrested on Tuesday after trying to hide on a roof in Donald Hall Road in the seaside town, and was detained on suspicion of dangerous driving causing serious injury, attempting to pervert the course of justice and aggravated vehicle taking, Sussex Police said.
A 56-year-old woman, also from the town, was held on suspicion of attempting to pervert the course of justice. Both are in custody.
Officers are appealing for witnesses and anyone with information is asked to call Sussex Police via 101, quoting Operation Northdown.
