Info sought on ‘hit and run’ as Werribee man hospitalised

Police are appealing for witnesses to an alleged hit and run that resulted in a Werribee man being hospitalised.

The man, 19, was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital on May 13 with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police said he was running south on Amcor Way, Campbellfield, just before midnight when he was struck by a car travelling in the same direction.

Police gave first aid to the man before paramedics arrived and took him to hospital.

It’s alleged that the driver of the car left the scene. A Craigieburn man, 19, was arrested by police last Wednesday and is assisting them with their inquiries.

Police spokeswoman Belinda Batty said someone had called Crime Stoppers about the incident and she urged the caller to contact them again.
