A child had his leg broken in a hit-and-run incident in Auckland as his mother lifted him out of the way of a speeding car.
The woman was crossing the road with her son and nephew on their way to kindergarten in Flat Bush on August 18.
As she crossed Baverstock Rd she saw a white sedan travelling fast towards her.
She quickly pulled both children back. But as she lifted her son the car hit and broke his right leg.
The sedan did not stop and turned left on to Chapel Rd.
Counties Manukau Senior Sergeant Jono Chappell said the matter was a serious one and it left the mother and children very shaken.
"Failing to stop and render assistance following a vehicle crash is a criminal offence.
"The fact that this person did not stop to see if the child was okay is appalling and we would like to identify the owner of the vehicle so we can make further enquiries."
