He is slim and was dressed in black at the time.
Only minutes before, police received reports of a car of similar size and colour crashing into a house in Southover Street.
They are investigating to see if both incidents are linked.
A police spokesman said: "At 5.22am on Friday a black Nissan Micra collided with a Toyota Prius parked at the roadside in Richmond Street, Brighton.
"The driver - a man in his late teens or early 20s, 5ft9in, slim build, dressed in black - fled on foot in the direction of Tarner Road.
"Given the similarity in size and colour of a vehicle which collided with a wall of a house in nearby Southover Street, Brighton, some ten minutes earlier, police have not ruled out the possibility that these incidents may be linked.
"Enquiries are continuing."
