‘The victim was uninjured and did not want the police or ambulance called,’ the person said.

‘Regardless, a report has been submitted to Crimestoppers which included the number plate of the offender.’

Residents were horrified by the brazen hit-and-run.

‘Omg that’s disgusting behaviour. Thank you for reporting this. I hope the driver is found and gets punished,’ one person wrote.

‘Must have been road rage. I hope he gets caught,’ another wrote.
