Philadelphia Police are investigating after video was posted to Twitter showing a gut wrenching hit-and-run in the Wells Fargo Center parking lot following Friday night's (11/16) 76er's game. It happened as fans were streaming out of the arena and cars were moving towards towards the exits. A dark grey Chevy Tahoe with New Jersey plates seems to suddenly speed up and veer into a pedestrian that was standing between car lanes. The man was knocked so hard his shoe went flying off. The SUV fled the scene, despite being chased down by bystanders. The man suffered some cuts and bruises but is expected to be OK. A police report has been filed and the investigation is ongoing.

This guy got hit at the @WellsFargoCtr last night and the driver fled the scene. It was a hit and run and the @PhillyPolice wonâ€™t do anything about it because we didnâ€™t call last night because the security at the CENTER told him to wait until the morning. RT to get the word out!! pic.twitter.com/CPtD0Y2KYG

A mother in Bethlehem Township is facing charges after she drove with her son on the hood of her car after he refused to go to the dentist. 36-year-old Shaurice Jones has been charged with child endangerment and reckless endangerment. On November 14, Jones took her 12-year-old son to the dentist. However, the boy refused to walk into the office and instead sat on the hood of the car. Police say that Jones then drove, with her son still on the hood, from the dentist office to the police station about 2 miles away. That stretch of road has a speed limit of 40 mph. She has been released on $1,000 bail.
