Hit and Run in New York City

From the June 3, 1861, New York Times.

The war was going on, but daily life continued as well.

The paper reported that on June 1st, 4 and 1/2-year-old George Kedar was struck at 49th St. and 9th Avenue by a beer wagon drive by Nicholas Hamdia. The boy died of his injuries.

Hamdia attempted to escape in the wagon, but was pursued and captured.

I imagine he was arrested.
