Police are looking for the driver of a car which hit a cyclist in Rustington and drove off.

The 33-year-old man was cycling near the Allangate Estate and Angmering railway station last Monday morning when he was hit by a silver BMW 5 or 7 series, which then drove off.

He was left with a knee injury.

The car is described as having blacked out windows and a front grille with red and blue lines, which looked like a AC Schnitzer-style grille.

The car drove off and the man was left with a knee injury.

Detective Constable Andrea Watts said; "From witness accounts it is clear that the car was deliberately driven at the cyclist and and we want to trace both the car and its driver and any other occupants.

"If you have any information please contact us, either online or by calling 101, quoting serial 743 of 28/09.
