Police are appealing for witnesses after a man was left for dead following a hit-and-run incident in Brighton.
Video has been released of the moment the pedestrian was hit by a white Fiat 500 car as he crossed Montague Place in the Kemptown area of the town.
The 53-year-old victim is seen being flung through the air before landing motionless on the road as passers-by come to his aid.
The man, who has not been named, suffered serious injuries but is recovering, Sussex Police said.
Officers want to trace the drivers of a taxi, a silver van, a Ford Focus and a black parked car.
Sergeant Dan Pitcher said: "We are keen to speak to anyone who saw what happened or can give us information which will help with our investigation.
"The Fiat drove off, leaving the victim for dead, and clearly they would have known they had hit someone.
"The pedestrian, a man from Hove, suffered serious head injuries and is thankfully making a recovery."
:: Anyone with information is asked to call Sussex Police on 101, quoting Operation Northdown.
