Police are looking for a pack of motorcyclists after one of them struck an eight-year-old boy in a crosswalk in the city’s west end on Friday night and then kept on going.

According to police, a family was crossing Roncesvalles Avenue in a marked pedestrian crossing at Marmaduke Street at around 8:45 p.m. when a southbound group of motorcycles approached the sidewalk.

Police say the first motorcycle came to a stop but one of the other motorcycles passed him and entered the crosswalk, striking the eight-year-old boy.

The motorcycles then fled the area.

The victim was taken to hospital with minor injuries, where he was treated and released.

Police have not released any descriptions of the motorcyclists.
