Two men who left a man with severe leg injuries after a hit and run in April in Oak Park are wanted by police.
The two men parked a silver ute on Vincent St in front of Bryant Family Reserve about 1.15pm on April 23 and began unloading rubbish from the back tray.
A 39-year-old Oak Park man approached the pair and asked them to stop dumping the gym equipment.
Nearby CCTV footage shows the men removing the rubbish from the car and dumping it on the edge of the park.
Senior Constable Adam West said as the men returned to their ute and started to drive away, the victim stood in front of the car and was hit.
The ute was driven from the scene without stopping, leaving the man with serious leg injuries.
