Monsoon nightclub: A man is in hospital after he was the victim of a hit and run

A man in his 50s was hospitalised after he was the victim of an alleged hit-and-run outside Monsoons on Sunday morning.

Northern Watch Commander Steve Langdon said the man was allegedly struck by a blue Toyota HiLux outside the popular nightclub along Mitchell St at 12.30am.

Police allege the impact tossed the male into the air, causing him to land on a nearby stationary car before hitting the road.

Police allege the driver sped off and failed to stop, allegedly running a red light at the corner of Mitchell and Daly Streets, before exiting the CBD via Daly and the Stuart Highway, according to police.

Multiple witnesses rendered assistance to the victim.

The driver of the vehicle that the pedestrian was thrown into stopped at the scene and waited for police.
