Abdullah Yaser Abdullah Al Yazidi was walking along Staniforth Road in Sheffield on Wednesday when he was hit by a car, police said

Two men have been charged with murder and three counts of attempted murder after a 16-year-old was hit by a car which failed to stop at the scene.

Zulkernain Ahmed, 20, and Amaan Ahmed, 26, both of Locke Drive, Sheffield, were charged over the death of Abdullah Yaser Abdullah Al Yazidi, 16, South Yorkshire Police said.

The teenager was walking along Staniforth Road in the Darnall area of Sheffield on Wednesday, when he was hit by the car.

The force said they believed the grey Audi first hit the rider of an electric bike before continuing and hitting Abdullah, who was walking nearby.

The teenager died from his injuries in hospital.

An 18-year-old man who was riding the electric bike suffered serious injuries which are not thought to be life-threatening and he remains in hospital, the force added.

The two men are due to appear at Sheffield Magistrates' Court on Monday.

A man, 46, and a woman, 45, who were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender last week, remain on bail.
