Police cordoned off Alfred Street North, off Woodborough Road, and Asiana Hypermarket, in Woodborough Road.

A white van the injured man is thought to have been travelling in is being forensically examined.

Pilates teacher Fiona Burnham, who lives in nearby Hibiscus Court, said: "We have never had anything like this before and this seemed like something really serious.

"The police haven't told us anything yet. They have cordoned off the car park so I can't get my car out.

"I didn't know anything had happened until I went out to water my flowers this morning."

Local businesses have been temporarily closed while the police investigate the incident.

Store manager Ketan Ahir from Asiana Hypermarket, Woodborough Road, Nottingham, said: “I have not seen anything like this before.

“I hope we are not closed all day.

“it must be something serious for the whole area to be closed off.”
