A 54-year-old man has appeared in court in connection with a hit-and-run in Belfast in which a pensioner was seriously injured.

Mr David Fee from Chief Street is charged with causing grievous bodily injury by dangerous driving and also faces a number of other driving offences.

Ann McQuitty, 67, suffered multiple injuries including a broken ankle and arm following the incident.
