Senior Constable Brett Main:

Police are appealing for information after the driver of a vehicle that struck a pedestrian in Wellington left the scene.

It happened about 6:30pm on Saturday 19 April at the intersection of Tory and Tennyson Streets in the city.

The pedestrian was carried a short distance on the bonnet of the vehicle before falling onto the road on Tory Street.

Fortunately, they had just minor injuries.

The vehicle did not stop, and left the area.

It is described as a light blue hatchback, which would have damaged windscreen wipers as a result of the collision.

The vehicle was captured on CCTV, and this is forming part of our inquiries.

We would urge anyone who knows who this was, or if this was you, to please do the right thing and come forward.

Information can be given via our 105 service, either online or over the phone. Please use the reference number P062293969.

Alternatively, information can be given anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
