A Jamaica man was arrested Tuesday and charged with leaving the scene of an accident for a hit-and-run collision near York College that critically injured a pedestrian in March, according to the NYPD.
Sean Brown, 24, of 109th Avenue, was driving west on Liberty Avenue around 10:15 on the night of March 28 just blocks from his home, when he plowed into a 31-year-old man who was crossing near 160th Street. Brown allegedly drove away from the scene, according to the NYPD.
