A motorcyclist charged in connection to a hit-and-run in east-end Toronto that left a four-year-old boy in critical condition will make his first court appearance Tuesday.

Toronto police said they received a call for reports of a pedestrian struck at Victoria Park Avenue and Adair Road at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday.

When authorities arrived on scene, investigators said they located a four-year-old boy who had been hit by a motorcycle and was in and out of consciousness.

Police said the motorcycle fled the scene and a woman, who was on the back of a motorcycle at the time of the incident, fled on foot.

The child was rushed to a trauma centre, where he remains in critical condition.

Monday afternoon, police arrested a 31-year-old man who is believed to be the driver of the motorcycle.

Police said the man – who officers have not released the man’s name to protect the integrity of the investigation — was charged with leaving the scene of an accident causing bodily harm, driving a motor vehicle with an improper licence, and operating a motor vehicle without insurance. A 2016 Harley Davidson Road Glide Motorcycle has also been seized.

Investigators are still looking for the woman, believed to be in her 20s.

A GoFundMe campaign has been created to help support the family.

Anyone who witnessed the collision or has information in relation to it is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
