Arrest over alleged Vic NY hit-and-run

A man has been arrested after a woman was left with serious injuries in an alleged New Year's Day hit-and-run in Melbourne.

The woman was hit by a motorcycle that sped past revellers in Bulleen just after midnight, police say.

Unaware of the accident, police nearby on the Eastern Freeway tried to stop the rider but the person sped off.

The police did not pursue the rider but noted the registration on the motorbike, which allegedly turned out to be false.

Investigators raided a Doncaster property on Saturday morning and arrested a 49-year-old man.

He was questioned and released pending further enquiries.

Police also seized a red and black Kawasaki motorcycle.

The injured woman was taken to The Alfred hospital.
