Anyone who may have the vehicle seen it or the direction it was travelling in is asked to get in touch immediately.

Chief Inspector Rosie Ross, Crawley district police commander, said the possibility of the attack being drug-related had not been ruled out.

She said: “Criminality that puts people’s lives at risk is never acceptable and it’s vital that the community now pulls together to help us deal with those responsible.
