Emergency crews were called to 1019 First Street N.W. at around 12:38 p.m.
EMS say the pedestrian, a teenage boy, was transported to hospital in serious but stable condition.
On Thursday evening, police issued an update, saying the 14-year-old victim was crossing First Street. N.W. at the intersection of 11 Avenue N.W. when he was hit by a four-door sedan described as a black Audi.
