Toronto police are asking those who witnessed an alleged hit-and-run that badly injured a toddler, his mother and his grandmother on Sunday to come forward.

Const. Alex Li notes that the crash happened in broad daylight at a busy intersection.

He says the number of witnesses who have called to give their account of the crash doesn’t line up with how many people must have seen it.

Li says the 20-month-old boy’s father is begging those responsible to come forward.
