Emergency services were called to College Close, Burngreave, shortly after 14:00 GMT following reports of violence and disorder. As the call was under way, a car hit a group of people.

A 46-year-old man died at the scene and numerous others were injured, South Yorkshire Police said.

A 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder.

Another man, aged 55, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Both are in custody.
