Retired professional wrestler Killer Khan, who feuded with Andre the Giant in the WWF and had runs in Canada's Stampede Wrestling as well as World Class, Georgia Championship Wrestling and other promotions in the 1980s, has been accused of a hit and run this past October.

Khan, 73, allegedly struck a woman who was riding a bike in the Hyakunincho area of Tokyo, then allegedly fled the scene.  Security cameras revealed it was Khan, who owns a nearby restaurant. Khan allegedly told investigators he left because he had to get to his restaurant.

The woman suffered a broken tooth in the accident and other injuries that took about a month to heal, according to the report.

Khan, who has apologized for the woman's injuries, has been charged "with suspicion of violating the Road Traffic Law regarding hit-and-run and negligence resulting in injury."

Khan last regularly wrestled in the late 1980s for the WWF, a heel run where he spewed green mist and was managed by Mr. Fuji.  He departed the company in 1987.
