A woman wanted in a hit-and-run that injured a 14-year-old girl in Brooklyn last month was arrested on Wednesday, an NYPD spokesman said.

Julia Litmanovich, 49, is accused of hitting the girl with a black Dodge Challenger on 47th Street and Ninth Avenue in Sunset Park on March 27 at about 4 p.m., police said. After hitting the girl, Litmanovich got out of her car to check on her, but then fled when a witness called 911, according to police. 

The girl was taken to an area hospital with bruising on her torso and legs.

Litmanovich was charged with leaving the scene of an accident, reckless endangerment, assault, reckless driving, failing to yield to a pedestrian, failure to exercise due care and speeding.
