A man has been left with serious injuries after a suspected hit-and-run in Gateshead at the weekend.

As the men were running, the motorcycle is reported to have collided with one of the men.
The victim, aged 56, sustained a broken arm and a broken leg in the incident.
He is currently in hospital in a stable condition.
The males on the motorcycle are reported to have then left the scene on foot, leaving the motorcycle behind.

They are particularly keen to hear from members of the public who were in the area at the time and are believed to have taken images of the suspects leaving the scene.
