PEOPLE have been left injured after a series of drive-by attacks in Malvern.
Objects are said to have been launched at people from a car in a series of incidents around the town, with one woman left with a bruise on Graham Road and a man narrowly escaping an injury to his eye.
Customers at The Retired Soldier pub on Newtown Road have also been targeted, usually around pub closing time at weekends.
Police believe the perpetrators are using a catapult or a BB gun and have said the objects are being launched with such a force that they are shattering when hitting walls and damaging walls on impact.
The vehicle has been described as white, with blacked-out front windows and officers have now appealed for anyone who has been affected or who has information to come forward by emailing linkanddyson.snt@westmercia.police.uk .

“In one incident, a lady walking down Graham Road with a group of friends was targeted and struck by an object, leaving her with a bruise,” a Malvern Hills Police spokesperson said.
“In another incident, a man escaped injury because he moved position just before something would have hit him in the eye.
“The incidents have typically been happening of an evening or around pub closing time on a weekend, but it has been mentioned that the car has also driven past The Retired Soldier and launched things at the customers on a Wednesday night.”
