A young Edinburgh man was rushed to hospital after being struck by a taxi in the city centre on Thursday morning.
The 21-year-old collided with a black Peugeot while crossing the road on Hanover Street around 2:25am and officers are keen to trace four passengers in the taxi who left the scene before officers arrived.
Police say the man was rushed to the Royal Infirmary where he remains for treatment, although his condition is stable.

Sergeant Ross Drummond, of the road policing unit in Edinburgh, said: "There were four male passengers in the taxi at the time of the crash.
"Unfortunately, they'd left prior to the arrival of police so we are keen to speak to them and the occupants of a white van travelling behind the taxi as they could have information that may assist our inquiry.
"Any information can be passed to officers via 101. Please quote reference number 0248 of Thursday November 17."
