A 23-year-old man from Abbots Langley was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Police are seeking a second man.
Detective Inspector Adele Hopkin is investigating. She said: “We are treating this incident as an attempted murder. I am urging any witnesses to come forward and report what you saw.
“The driver of the van, a male, did not stop at the scene so if you think you saw the van leaving the area, please get in touch. We’ve arrested a person in connection with this incident but we believe there is another male outstanding and we are carrying out enquiries to locate them.
“We would be grateful for any information. No matter how small it might seem, it could prove to be vital to our investigation.
