Hackney police hunt hit and run suspects with T74 number plate
A man was seriously injured last night in a hit and run collision in Stamford Hill.
Shortly before the incident at 8.15pm, officers from the Territorial Support Group had pulled their carrier up behind a parked car containing three men in Cranwich Road.
When officers got out of the carrier, one of the passengers jumped out and ran off, while the car sped off, turning into Amhurst Park.
A police spokesman said: “What sounded like a collision and someone shouting about a person having been “hit” was then heard by the officers.
“Any car involved had failed to stop at the scene.”
Police officers found a 59-year-old man with leg injuries in Amhurst Park.
