A driver struck a group of pedestrians and injured 10 people in New York City on Tuesday while attempting to flee from police, authorities said.

The incident occurred at an intersection in Midtown Manhattan, around 5:30 p.m. after the New York City Police Department responded to a report of a stolen vehicle. Police had followed the driver of the vehicle “at a low rate of speed because of the heavy traffic” when the driver first hit a bicyclist, Deputy Chief James Kehoe said.

The driver then collided with a taxi before mounting a sidewalk and striking several pedestrians, according to Kehoe. The driver then made a U-turn within the intersection and drove onto the wrong side of the street, hitting another vehicle.

  1. NYC doesn't want to admit that they have Terrorist Attacks taking place, due to the influx of foreign soldiers!

  2. So why hit many pedestrians if not out of hate? Obviously it was hate caused.

  3. While fleeing from authorities. Title makes it sound like the driver was doing for sport or something.

  4. Not connected to the terorist Since he was not a muslim,term reserved to victimize that community anywhere around the Globe.the rest are mentally ill,criminal,Dui and stressed individuals😂.

  5. @USA TODAY
    Very stiff penalties and consequences need to be put across all states for those causing police pursuits, and even more so when those pursuits destroy property or injure or kill other persons in the process. Little to no consequences enables these idiots to continue this reckless behavior.

  6. Ästhetischer und unvergesslicher Material!💚
