POLICE believe a white ute seen in CCTV footage was involved in a deliberate Dandenong hit-run.
Investigators released the footage on Thursday 12 May and appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
The Journal reported on 19 April that a driver had deliberately run down two people on a Dandenong footpath and fled the scene.
Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Sergeant Luke Kirton said a vehicle mounted the kerb on Wilma Avenue near Marion Street just after 10am on Friday 15 April.
It struck a 41-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman from behind and did not stop.
An ambulance took both victims to The Alfred hospital, the man with broken ribs and the woman with cuts and bruises.
Police said both were now home and recovering well.
“The incident is believed a deliberate act to run them down,” Sgt Kirton said.
“There was nothing to suggest the driver tried to brake or take evasive action.”
The vehicle, believed to be a Mitsubishi utility, left the scene and continued north along Wilma Avenue.
Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
