A man in his 20s has been arrested in connection with a hit-and-run in Cork city.

Gardaí said a 23-year-old woman suffered “serious life changing injuries” after she was hit by a car while out walking on Magazine Street last Saturday.

It happened at around 3:15am and investigators said the car failed to remain at the scene.

This afternoon Gardaí said they had arrested a man in his 20s in connection with the incident and seized his car.

He is being held at the Bridewell Garda Station.
