A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 16-year-old boy died following a hit-and-run in Sheffield. The teenager - who has been named as Abdullah Yaha Al-Zaidy - was hit in
Staniforth Road in Darnall at around 4.50pm on Wednesday, June 4. South Yorkshire Police said it is understood a grey Audi drove towards three electric bikes, colliding with one rider. As

Officer in the case, Detective Chief Inspector Benjamin Wood said: "This is a tragic incident in which an entirely innocent bystander, who was going about his daily business, has sadly
lost his life. Our thoughts are with the boy's loved ones, and we remain focused on securing justice for them. "We know that this incident will have caused concern in the local
community, and we have a team of detectives working at pace to piece together the circumstances which unfolded. We're aware of footage being shared online and I'd like to reiterate
