Three men died after being mown down by a car as they protected their neighbourhood from rioters in the early hours of the morning.

The trio - named locally as Shazad Hussain, Haroon Hussain and Musaver Ali - had emerged from a mosque shortly before they were knocked down by the hit-and-run driver in Birmingham.

The men were reportedly standing on the pavement when they were hit. Today, a 32-year-old man was being questioned on suspicion of murder.
