A Politico reporter witnessed Novak in the front of a police car with a citation in his hand; a WJLA-TV crew and reporter saw Novak too.

The victim was a 66-year-old male, reportedly hospitalized at George Washington University Hospital with minor injuries according to DC Fire and EMS.

Novak drove away from the scene.

“I didn’t know I hit him. I feel terrible,” a shaken Novak told reporters from Politico and WJLA as he was returning to his car. "He's not dead, that's the main thing."

According to Politico, Novak was a block away from 18th and K St. NW, the scene of the hit and run accident when bicyclist David Bono stopped him and said, "You hit someone."

Novak was cited for failing to yield the right of way.

Bono told Politico: a "black Corvette convertible with top closed plowed into the guy. The guy is sort of splayed onto the windshield.”

Bono said the pedestrian, who was crossing the street on a "Walk" signal and was in the crosswalk, rolled off the windshield and then Novak made a right into the service lane of K Street. “The car is speeding away. What’s going through my mind is, you just can’t hit a pedestrian and drive away,” Bono said to Politico.

He chased Novak half a block down K St., finally caught up with him and then put his bike in front of the car to block him and called 911. Traffic immediately backed up, horns blared, and commuters finally went into reverse to allow Novak to pull over.

Bono alleged Novak "keeps trying to get away. He keeps trying to go.” He said he vaguely recognized the longtime political reporter and columnist as a Washington celebrity but could not precisely place him.

Bono essentially held Novak captive in citizen's arrest: "This guy hit somebody and he won't stop so I'm going to stay here until the police come," Politoc reports that witness Aleta Petty quoted Bono as saying, as he stood in K Street, blocking traffic.

Novak in 2001 cursed at a pedestrian on the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and 13th Street N.W., for allegedly jaywalking. “’Learn to read the signs, [bodily orifice]!’ Novak snapped before speeding away,” according to an item in The Washington Post’s Reliable Source column.

Novak explained to the paper: "He was crossing on the red light. I really hate jaywalkers. I despise them. Since I don't run the country, all I can do is yell at 'em. The other option is to run 'em over, but as a compassionate conservative, I would never do that."

You never heard about compensating for short commings. That is why he driving a Corvette.

some sports cars are a beauty to drive the sheer power of the cars is intoxicating . I like strong fast horses , good cars and strong sturdy women .

I am looking forward someday to run into a strong strudy woman. Trouble is I am too shy to approach one that I think would be.

Novak is a Bloody Jackass. No wonder he is a Republician!!!!!!

Many years ago I ran into a South African farmer's daughter. She wanted me to wrestle her if I wanted to do the dirty deed. The gyal was as strong as an ox so I went without...

On a fishing trip instead. Baiting hooks.

Bai, she could wrestle a cow to the floor. How much chance you think I had of winning? Better a bruised ego than a bruised extension ...

You know with my ego I would have ended up with the latter.

In the 80's a friend of mine got dragged home by a 20 stone woman. He couldn't get out of bed for more than a week afterwards. He told me was like he got run over by a steamroller .
