A TAXI driver who refused a short fare proceeded to carry out a hit-run on the passenger he stranded.
Police are appealing for witnesses following the incident in South Melbourne on October 19 which left a 26-year-old Clifton Hill man nursing broken toes and a sprained ankle.
The man and a friend left a licensed venue on Albert St and were waiting for a taxi between 4am and 5.30am.
A taxi pulled up alongside the pair, however it is alleged the driver refused to transport them because of the insufficient length of their requested trip.
When the driver departed the scene, it is believed he clipped the victim's leg and allegedly ran over his foot which caused him to fall over.
The driver refused to stop and was last seen travelling towards city-bound along St Kilda Rd.
He is described as being aged in his mid 20s, perceived to be Indian in appearance with a thin build.
He was wearing a taxi uniform and driving the traditional yellow taxi sedan.
The victim was taken to The Alfred hospital with three broken toes and a sprained ankle.
Police are appealing for witnesses and anyone with information about the collision is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au.
