Three thieves remain on the run after a callous hit and run on a Port Kennedy man during a burglary in the early hours of the morning on Wednesday.

Residents in the quiet cul-de-sac of Montpellier Mews were woken up by a commotion on the street about 5.50am after 59-year-old Andy McCall tried to stop three offenders from taking off with his Isuzu D-Max.

A tussle had broken out after the trio broke into Mr McCall’s home, turned a light on and took his car keys and phone, before hitting him in his driveway — as he tried to stop them — and then speeding away in his vehicle.

The 59-year-old suffered serious injuries, including fractured ribs, a possible fractured spine and fluid on his lungs. He is now in a stable condition.

A member of the public had found the Isuzu D-Max abandoned on a bush track off Chalk Hill Road in Medina on Wednesday afternoon.

However, no one has been apprehended or charged following the terrifying incident as the hunt for the three offenders continues on Thursday, a police spokeswoman confirmed.

Neighbour Alan Atkinson said Mr McCall had been “banged around a bit” during the scuffle.

Mr Atkinson said he ran out to the street to find his neighbour lying face down in the street.

“My wife actually woke me up, I was getting up for work, I was already awake but ... she’d come out saying something’s happening in the street,” Mr Atkinson told 7NEWS.

“So I got dressed and quickly went out and found my good friend, my neighbour Andy, face flat in the cul-de-sac.

“By then there were quite a few neighbours around Andy, one had got a blanket and kept him warm.”

Another neighbour had also stepped in to try to rip a passenger out of the front seat but failed.

Police are urging anyone with information relating to the incident to contact 131 444.
