Unconfirmed reports say a refugee is in a serious condition following a hit and run incident on Nauru late last night. 

The 36-year-old man was riding his motorcycle when he was hit by a car, whose occupants fled the scene after stealing his motorcycle, said the Refugee Action Coalition.

"The refugee is still on Nauru and is awaiting an expected air ambulance to Australia for treatment," RAC spokesperson Ian Rintoul told 4ZZZ. 

"[The incident is] a shocking reminder of the threat of violence that refugees and asylum seekers live with on Nauru.  Nauru is not safe for them."

An Australian Border Force spokesperson said they were unable to confirm or deny reports on individuals.
