Police are investigating after a hit-and-run in Tollington Park left an elderly man fighting for his life on Friday.

Cops were called by the London Ambulance Service at about 8.35pm to reports of a collision between a vehicle and pedestrian near the junction with Stroud Green Road.

The Emergency Services found a 75-year-out man seriously injured at the scene and he was taken to a north London hospital.

A Met Police spokesperson today said the victim “remains in a stable condition”, and “his injuries are no longer thought to be life-threatening”.

Enquiries to trace the driver, who failed to stop at the scene, are ongoing.
