Police say a Queens man has been arrested for hitting a pedestrian and fleeing the scene in Elmont.

Ibrahim Elfiqi, 20, had nothing to say to News 12 as he left 1st District Court in Hempstead Monday, but surveillance video from nearby deli seems shows what happened.

Police say Elfiqi was driving a tow truck down Linden Boulevard near 237th Street Sunday night when he hit a 65-year-old man crossing the road, severing his leg.

Elfiqi stopped and got out of his truck, but in a statement to police, he said, "I walked to a person in the roadway. I saw that his leg was off."

Police and witnesses say Elfiqi got back in his tow truck and took off.

In the statement, Elfiqi says he left because he had to drop off a car he had on his flatbed at a body shop in Bellmore.

While he was heading back west on Merrick Road in Valley Stream, he was pulled over and arrested.

The victim suffered a serious injury to his left leg which was severed below his knee. Officers immediately rendered life-saving aid by applying tourniquets to control the bleeding. The victim was transported to a local hospital where he is in critical, but stable condition.
