The brother of 44-year-old Jean Agnant, of Bridgeport, is asking for the hit-and-run driver who struck Agnant on Oct. 15 "to come forward and face justice."
"Whoever did this to my brother needs to be held accountable," said Emmanuel Agnant Tuesday, as he fought back tears. "We forgive you -- but you must come forward."
Agnant says his brother is "fighting for his life at Hartford Hospital in Hartford" and that he has faith that he will make a full recovery.
The accident happened in the 400 block of Chopsy Hill Road just one day after another pedestrian was struck only a few hundred feet away in a separate hit-and-run, police said last week.

Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the accident to call 203-576-TIPS.
