Dunedin police say they are following several leads after a cyclist injured a young boy in a hit-and-run this week. A police spokeswoman said officer-in-charge Acting Sergeant Steven Wykes and two other officers were working to determine the identity of the man involved. "We’re working on a few leads and will have an update early next week." The incident left 3-year-old Jaxxyn Scott covered in tyre marks and his leg broken in two places. His aunt Samantha Scott said after knocking the boy over, the cyclist unleashed a torrent of abuse before riding off up John Wilson Ocean Dr.
