The 41-year-old man was hit while standing at a bus stop on Dyke Road, Glasgow.
A man has been struck with a jeep in a hit and run while waiting at a bus stop in Glasgow.
At around 1.20pm on Monday, May 19, a blue Jeep was involved in a collision with a 41-year-old man who was standing at a bus stop on Dyke Road in the city.
The car failed to stop and drove away in the direction of Culbin Drive. The pedestrian did not require any medical treatment.
Sergeant Iain Allison said: 'I am appealing to anyone who may have witnessed anything to please come forward.
'From our enquiries so far, we understand there were other members of the public at this bus stop and we are keen to speak with them as they may be able to assist with our investigation.
'In addition, anyone with dash-cam footage is asked to contact us as this may be significant.'
Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 1809 of 19 May, 2025. Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be given anonymously.
Earlier today, we reported that a 30-year-old woman has appeared in court charged with attempted murder after a suspected hit-and-run incident outside a pub in Ayrshire over the weekend.
Just after 9pm on Saturday, May 17, emergency crews raced to the scene at Burns Statue Square in Ayr. The woman is believed to have struck a female with her car outside the busy Rabbie's Bar before fleeing the scene.
The pedestrian was rushed to Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock to be treated for her injuries, where her condition was described as serious but stable.
A probe was later launched by Police Scotland to identify the driver and the offending vehicle, which ended up wedged between the front of the pub and a bus shelter immediately following the crash.
Shelby Laughland was arrested and charged over the incident. She appeared in Ayr Sheriff Court on Monday, May 19, charged with attempted murder, assault to injury and an attempt to defeat the ends of justice.
She has been released on bail with a second appearance date not yet set.
A shocking image taken at the scene, seemingly before emergency services arrived, shows the car, a white Audi A3, in the middle of the pavement at an angle.
It was lodged between the front of the pub and the shelter at a bus stop, which was also damaged. The entrance to the pub was almost completely blocked by the front of the car.
Any damage at the front of the car was not visible, however the back windscreen was mostly shattered following the incident, with just a corner of cracked glass still remaining.
A crowd of at least seven people, said to have been distressed locals, were spotted surrounding it.

Body found in search for missing teen who vanished four weeks ago
The body of a man has been discovered in the search for teenager Cole Cooper who vanished more than four weeks ago. Police said the body was found in a wooded area near Kilsyth Road in Banknock, Falkirk, at around 4.15pm on Friday. Formal identification has not yet taken place but the family of Mr Cooper, 19, has been informed. Enquiries are continuing to establish the full circumstances, Police Scotland said. Mr Cooper was last seen by family on either May 2 or 3 and he appeared on CCTV around 6am on May 4 in Longcroft, where he tried but failed to access his father's home. He was last seen at about 8.45pm on May 7 on the A803 near Cumbernauld Road in Longcroft, when he asked a school friend for a lift, which he was not given. His family reported him missing on May 9, sparking a major investigation involving helicopters, divers, digital specialists and hundreds of officers. More than 400 people were spoken to during door-to-door inquiries, while over 2,000 hours of CCTV were reviewed. Police previously treated the case as a missing person investigation rather than a criminal inquiry. Earlier this week, officers said they would revisit the locations where Mr Cooper was last seen in a fresh attempt to trace potential witnesses. A major incident portal has been set up for the public to share footage, images and possible lines of inquiry, and detectives said it has received 'numerous' submissions. Detectives previously said the investigation was being treated as a missing person's inquiry rather than a criminal probe. A major search has involved helicopters, divers, digital and financial investigators. On May 28, detectives said the examination of more than 1,000 hours of CCTV had taken place along with door-to-door inquiries at more than 220 homes. Around a week later, the hours of CCTV examined had increased to more than 2,000. Chief Inspector Alex Hatrick, local area commander, had previously thanked the public for supporting the investigation and urged anyone with information to come forward.
