Police are looking for a P-plate driver who allegedly hit and injured two cyclists before fleeing the scene in Melbourne's south-east.

The cyclists, a 37-year-old man from Hughesdale and a 38-year-old man from Carnegie, were stationary at the intersection of Murumbeena and Dandenong roads around 5.45 pm on Tuesday when they were hit by a silver Mercedes Benz.

Police said it is believed the driver also struck a power pole before reversing and driving off without helping the cyclists.

The Carnegie man suffered suspected broken ribs, and both cyclists required treatment by paramedics at the scene.

The car, described as having p-plates on both the front and back windscreens, was last seen heading south along Dandenong Road.

Anyone with information about the driver’s identity is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au.
