A MAN from Askam has been arrested after an alleged hit-and-run incident outside a primary school in Barrow town centre.
Police were called to the corner outside St George's School in Barrow on the bend of Salthouse Road on July 24 after a black car was seen to crash into a set of railings. A public appeal was launched in a bid to find witnesses after the car was alleged to have left the scene.

The railings were badly damaged and have since been replaced by Cumbria County Council at an estimated cost of £1,200.
