New Delhi: A 45-year-old man was injured after being hit by a rashly driven car, likely by a minor, in central Delhi's Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, an official said on Tuesday.
The accident took place around 10.20 pm on Monday when the car, allegedly being driven recklessly, struck the man, he said, adding that the verification of the driver is going on.
The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital where he is undergoing treatment.
The vehicle has been seized and its driver has been apprehended, police said.
