Grandmother of four Rev Irene Wilson was unhurt but “very shaken” after the incident outside Holy Trinity Church on Sunday afternoon, said Canon Neil Barnes.

He added: “She’s with family and we obviously continue to pray for her. She is very much a community person and the church has rallied round.”

Two boys, aged 13 and 16, were arrested shortly after the incident, following a chase involving the police helicopter. The boys, who cannot be named for legal reasons, will appear before Hull and Holderness Youth Court today.
