Police are appealing for witnesses following a hit and run in Birmingham that’s left a young man with serious injuries.

It happened in Newtown at around 4.30 pm yesterday (12 June).

The 19-year-old was riding his e-scooter along New Town Row near Dixie Chicken when he was hit by a motorbike.

He was taken to hospital with serious injuries and remained in critical condition.

The motorcyclist, who failed to stop, is believed to have been with a large group of other motorcyclists and quad bike riders who were seen heading out of the city.

Officers have been in the area carrying out CCTV and local enquiries and speaking to witnesses.

Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “I would appeal directly to those quad bike riders to do the right thing and get in touch as soon as possible.

“Similarly if anyone was in the area at the time and has dash-cam footage I would ask them to check their video to see if they have caught any relevant footage on camera.”
