This is the shocking moment a taxi driver ploughed into a pedestrian before speeding off in a hit-and-run.
Manchester Police are now hunting for the cabbie following the crash which took place at around 8.20pm on Thursday at the junction of Milkstone Road and Ashfield Road in Deeplish, Rochdale.
CCTV footage shows the white taxi first pull up on the pavement, before turning right into a side street.
But as it crosses the junction a man steps off the pavement into its path.
He’s thrown onto the bonnet before falling to the floor and rolling across the road. The taxi driver then reverses, before speeding away.
Luckily the victim was not seriously injured.
Police have launched an investigation and say attempts are being made to trace the taxi.
It was caught on the CCTV cameras of the nearby Auto Shop car spares and hardware store.
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 1010 quoting log number 3318 of March 21.
