Dog walker, 65, victim of hit-and-run
He was walking his pet along Cornaig Road with two members of his family at around 5pm when a car mounted the pavement and hit him from behind.
The car, thought to be a silver Mercedes, failed to stop and turned left on to Leithland Road. The man was treated at the Southern General hospital before being released.
PC Kristopher Hazlett said: "This was a terrifying ordeal for the man and his family. I am appealing to anyone who was in the Cornaig Road area on Tuesday to contact me."
