This harrowing CCTV footage shows the moment a man was left fighting for his life after a hit-and-run.
Passers-by found the victim unconscious in the street after he was hit earlier this month. He was left with life-threatening injuries.
The 53-year-old victim suffered serious head injuries after being hit by the Fiat 500 in Kemptown, Brighton on January 14.
The driver of the Fiat failed to stop after hitting the man on Montague Place in Brighton. Security footage shows the car continuing along the road as passers-by look on in shock.
Sussex Police have released the disturbing video in the hope witnesses will come forward with information.
Sergeant Dan Pitcher said: “The Fiat drove off leaving the victim for dead and clearly they would have known they had hit someone.
“We are very keen to trace the drivers of the taxi, the silver van, the dark Ford Focus and the black parked car. We think you could give us vital information we need to identify the driver.
“Were you the taxi driver and do you have a dash camera which may have captured the Fiat as it drove past?
“Were you in the silver van and did you notice who was driving as the Fiat approached the junction?
The Sergeant added “The victim from Hove, suffered serious head injuries and is thankfully making a recovery.”
