A schoolboy has been taken to hospital after being hurt in a suspect hit-and-run.

The boy was allegedly struck by a car which failed to stop in Graham Road, Bexleyheath, near the Asda supermarket car park.

It happened at around 4.20pm yesterday and the teen, who is understood to be a Bexleyheath Academy school pupil, was assisted by members of the public.

He was later taken to a hospital by a relative and treated for a head injury.

Police say they were not called at the time but enquiries into the incident are ongoing.
