Toronto police are searching for a black SUV that fled after running over a pedestrian downtown last week.

Police said a 35-year-old man was driving a 2013 Hyundai north on Mount Pleasant Road at Jarvis Street when he struck a 30-year-old man standing on the roadway.

The 30-year-old who was knocked to the ground was then ran over by a black SUV, police said.

The SUV fled while the driver of the Hyundai remained at the scene.

Police said the 30-year-old was rushed to the hospital, where he remains in life-threatening condition.

No further information about the SUV has been released.

Investigators are appealing for anyone with information to contact them at 416-808-1900.
