Police say 50-year-old Carlos Campo hit the pedestrian near Van Buskirk Avenue, put the victim in his car and later left him on Seaside Avenue.
Witnesses say someone driving a dark-colored BMW was speeding before driving over the sidewalk and into the pedestrian. They say the pedestrian was then thrown into the street.
