Boston police are looking to identify a man in connection with the Seaport hit-and-run last week that left a woman injured.

Shortly before noon last Friday, officers saw an Amtrak truck “operating erratically” after hitting multiple cars near Northern Avenue and Fan Pier Boulevard, according to a release. Amtrak has said the truck had been stolen from a worksite.

A man then fled the vehicle on foot, police said. He evaded officers and ran into a construction site. 

A woman suffered minor injuries when the truck apparently ran over her foot, according to police. She was transported to a local hospital.
