Police in Christchurch are appealing for witnesses to an unusual hit and run - involving a mobility scooter.

A 63 year old sustained minor head and leg injuries after being knocked down on the High Street outside the Zoo jewellery store, just before 2 P-M back on Monday April the 30th.

Officers say a woman - about 50 with long blonde hair and a light-coloured jacket on - didn't stop and rode off towards Sopers Lane.
