To­ba­go po­lice are hunt­ing for a man who al­leged­ly left a po­lice of­fi­cer’s child hos­pi­tal­ized, in crit­i­cal con­di­tion, af­ter a hit-and-run ac­ci­dent in Black Rock on Sun­day night.

The 12-year-old child, whose moth­er is at­tached to the Scar­bor­ough Po­lice Sta­tion, is cur­rent­ly un­der­go­ing surgery.

Po­lice told Guardian Me­dia, the dri­ver fled the scene af­ter hit­ting the child, aban­don­ing the ve­hi­cle.

Of­fi­cers lat­er re­cov­ered the car, which has since been tak­en to the Shir­van Road Po­lice Sta­tion.

The al­leged sus­pect's pic­ture has been shared on so­cial me­dia by fam­i­ly and friends, ask­ing for his where­abouts. In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.
