Toronto police say a man has been charged with attempted murder after a cyclist was struck by a vehicle and subsequently beaten in Etobicoke Saturday morning.

Police said the incident occurred around 7:15 a.m. when the victim was riding his bike in the area of Hinton Road and Harefield Drive, southwest of Islington Avenue and Albion Road.

Officers alleged a man struck the cyclist with a vehicle before getting out of the car and beating him with an object.

On Saturday, police told Global News the victim suffered critical injuries and the driver fled the area on foot, attempting to board a TTC bus in the process.

Investigators later issued an arrest warrant for 29-year-old David Pajon Ramos of no fixed address.
