The arrest comes as two 18-year-old men were also released under investigation after being arrested on suspicion of attempted murder on Saturday.
Police have said the incident is being treated as a racially-aggravated attack due to the racist language used by the occupants of the car.
Supt Andy Bennett said: “The dedicated team investigating this incident are committed to carrying out a thorough investigation and I hope this third arrest provides further reassurance to the victim and the wider community about how seriously we’re treating this incident.”
