Police are looking for a hit-and-run driver who struck a 47-year-old man who was walking on the sidewalk in Flushing Saturday evening—leaving him in critical condition.

The incident took place around 9:30 p.m. Saturday near the intersection of Leavitt Street and 35th Avenue. Tire tracks remained visible on the pavement Sunday where the vehicle jumped the curb before hitting the man, CBS reported.

No arrests had been made as of Sunday morning, and the victim was listed in critical condition at New York Presbyterian Queens, a spokesperson for the NYPD said.

Police did not have a description of the vehicle involved in the hit-and-run. Anyone with information is asked to reach out to the NYPD.

Three sought in armed robbery near Flushing Meadows Corona Park: NYPD

Police from the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst are looking for armed robbers who targeted a 26-year-old woman in Corona and remain at large nearly two weeks later.

Police say three strangers approached the woman as she walked near the Playground for All Children in Flushing Meadows Corona Park at Corona Avenue and Saultell Avenue at around 4:20 a.m. on Friday, July 12. One of the perpetrators allegedly pulled out a small silver revolver and threatened the victim, while the others forcibly removed two yellow gold necklaces worth $2,000, according to the police report; however, an NYPD spokesman said it is not clear if that was the value of both chains or each one individually.
