A 49-year-old Brooklyn pedestrian was killed early Sunday when he was hit by two cars — including one that fled afterward, cops and kin said.

Rodney Graham was trying to cross Atlantic Avenue at Rockaway Avenue in Brownsville when he was hit by the first car, police said.

Graham then got up and attempted to walk away when he was struck by the second car, said his girlfriend, Tanyia Brand, to the Post.

The first car remained at the scene, but the driver of the second car took off, authorities said.

Graham of Brownsville was taken to Brookdale Hospital, where he died.

“Even if this person isn’t caught by the police, they’re gonna be caught in their own mind,” Brand told the Post. “I pray for the person who killed him.”

Police were investigating whether Graham was in the crosswalk or had the light when the crash occurred.
