Video: Man brutally knocked over in shocking Manchester hit-and-run

The pedestrian was left with a broken neck and facial injuries following the collision

Police are on the hunt for a driver who failed to stop after brutally knocking down a pedestrian as he crossed the road in Manchester last month.

The man is seen being knocked into the air by the car, before landing awkwardly on his back.

Despite the victim being visibly injured, the driver fails to stop and continues his journey towards School Lane.

Police say the pedestrian suffered a broken neck, cuts to his head and back injuries as a result of the collision.

The driver of the car is yet to be identified and police are now appealing to the public for help.
