A 6-year-old boy was taken to Dunedin Hospital by St John ambulance after being hit by a four-wheel-drive in Delta Dr, Waldronville, yesterday.
Emergency services were called about 6.20pm after the child was hit by a vehicle leaving the address, Senior Sergeant Brian Benn said.
The child was on a motorised bike at the time and pulled in front of the four-wheel-drive.
The boy, who was wearing a helmet, sustained a cut to his leg which required stitches, Snr Sgt Benn said.
No charges would follow.
