Police Commander of Region Three, Mahendra Siwnarine confirmed that the “hit and run” driver was arrested around after 16:00hrs.

In a matter of seconds she was quickly able to get most of her body out of the car’s way but the vehicle clipped her by the left leg and the impact threw the woman face forward onto the road.

Two men rushed to assist the injured woman immediately while the car stopped a short distance away after almost colliding with another woman and her baby. Security cameras captured the driver stepping out of his vehicle and walking back towards to where he had struck down the woman to see if she was okay.

After exchanging a few words with the victim and the men who were assisting her, the driver walked back to his car, entered it and drove away.
