Officers attended, alongside the ambulance service and road closures were put in place.

The man suffered GBH level injuries and was taken to hospital.

Sergeant Mike Ball, from the North Herts Local Crime Unit, said: "Our enquiries are continuing at this time to establish the circumstances around what happened and to trace the vehicle involved. As part of this, I am appealing for anyone who saw the incident, or events leading up to it, to please come forward. 

"I'd be particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have captured dash cam footage of the incident itself, or of a rust orange/red coloured vehicle travelling in the area.

"If you can help, please get in touch."
