Police say the driver was doing burnouts on Theodore Oval when a woman approached them about 6.20pm Tuesday.
The driver allegedly drove at the woman who was later taken to hospital with leg injuries.
Police are seeking witnesses or anyone with dash cam footage of the car leaving the area.
It was described as a dark green or blue four-wheel drive with blue-tinted front driving lights.
The incident has prompted a warning from police, that people should report dangerous behaviour but not put themselves in danger.
"We do want Canberrans to report dangerous driving when they see it. We don't want anyone to get hurt in the process," Detective acting Superintendent Donna Hofmeier said.
"Get as much information as you can, such as the make and model of the vehicle, the registration, the colour, and any other distinguishing features. If you can get a video, that can be helpful too.
