ANAHEIM, Calif.A man involved in a street takeover that injured two bystanders in Anaheim has been arrested, according to police.

Hassan Hamid Ali, 20, of Torrance, was arrested in connection with the Nov. 1 incident that happened around 2 a.m. near State College Blvd. and Orangewood Avenue.

According to authorities, the two bystanders were struck by a black Dodge Charger, which was later linked to Ali as the driver. The two 19-year-old victims were found lying in the street next to the car, which was abandoned.

Ali was arrested Sunday and booked for felony hit-and-run and felony exhibition of speed.

The investigation is ongoing.
