Police in Wareham are hoping there were witnesses to a hit and run near the town - to help them find the driver who knocked down a cyclist and failed to stop.

The man, in his thirties, was riding along the A352 in East Stoke just after 6am last Thursday, when he was clipped from behind by an unknown vehicle ... and left unconscious in the road.

He was taken to Poole Hospital with concussion.

Officers say they also 'urge the driver to do the right thing' and come forward.
