A 3‑year-old boy is in the hospital recovering from injuries suffered when a car hit him, in the Hill neighborhood.
The incident occurred around 6 p.m. Saturday on Cassius Street between Cedar Street and Howard Avenue.
It began when a group of women had a “physical altercation,” according to police spokeswoman Sgt. Shayna Kendall.
“The offending group left in a motor vehicle, drove around the block, and returned to drive onto the sidewalk toward the other group,” Kendall wrote in a release. “The vehicle struck the child and fled the scene. No other pedestrians were injured.”
Kendall said the boy is in stable condition. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact detectives at (203) 946‑6316.
