Ontario Provincial Police are searching for a suspect after a man drove his car into a stroller carrying a five-month-old baby, then drove away.

The hit and run happened just before 2 p.m. on Tuesday in Kemptville, Ont., southwest of Ottawa, OPP said in a news release.

A 24-year-old woman was walking east along Clothier Street E. with her five-month-old child in a stroller when a black sedan leaving a parking lot beside Benson Auto Parts struck the stroller.

"The male driver backed up and drove around the pedestrians and left the scene," OPP said.

The baby was taken to hospital as a precaution and no injuries were reported.
