Man left with facial injuries and needing stitches after hit-and-run in Bulwell

A man has suffered facial injuries and needed several stitches to his head after he was injured in a hit-and-run. The 56-year-old victim was using the pedestrian crossing at the junction of Jennison Street and Main Street in Bulwell, between the Tesco and Lidl stores.

The incident occurred on Thursday, October 17, between 6.40pm and 6.55pm. The man went over the bonnet of the car and was thrown to the floor but the grey car failed to stop following the collision.

The victim suffered a number of injuries, including swelling to his ankle and elbow, but managed to walk further down the road to a bus stop where some members of the public helped him. He was taken to hospital for treatment.

It was found that he had suffered facial injuries and needed nine stitches to his head. Nottinghamshire Police are appealing for anyone with information to come forward. PC Jacob Cole of Nottinghamshire Police said: "Thankfully the victim is expected to make a full recovery, but it is important we trace the driver.
