A hit-and-run at Greenacre in Sydney’s south-west last week may have been deliberate, police believe.

Four people were standing on the road in Narelle Crescent at Greenacre at 7.20pm last Thursday when a white hatchback crashed into them.

CCTV footage of the incident shows the car driving directly at the group and hitting them before reversing a short distance and driving away.

The Nissan Pulsar was last found abandoned on nearby Ivy Street.

A 23-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman were hurt but their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

It is understood they are refusing to cooperate with the police investigation.

Detectives said they believe at least two other people may have been injured during the incident, but despite conducting extensive inquiries with hospitals and medical practitioners, they have not been able to identify them.

The ABC has been told the group may know the driver of the car but police do not know what triggered the incident.

Police have released the footage in the hope it will encourage witnesses or anyone with information about the incident to come forward.
