A taxi drove into a crowd on a sidewalk on Broadway in New York. Three people were taken to hospital with serious injuries, police said on Monday. At least six people were injured, including the driver. The police are currently assuming an accident.
The scene of the action is a few blocks south of the Empire State Building in an area packed with hotels, bars and restaurants. According to an initial investigation, the yellow taxi turned left onto Broadway and initially collided with a bicyclist. The driver then ducked onto the sidewalk, eventually accelerated and pushed two women into a wall with his car, police said.
“When this happened, a remarkable scene unfolded,” New York City police officer John Chell said at a news conference. About 15 to 20 passers-by tried to lift the taxi and free the women from their plight.
