A New York Police Department spokesperson said the taxi driver
may have suffered a medical episode, but that the investigation
had yet to confirm that.
Two people, including the 9-year-old boy, were taken to Weill
Cornell Medical Center, and one person was taken to Bellevue
Hospital, the spokesperson said. The other three people who were
hit by the taxi refused medical attention. All were in stable
condition.
The taxi cab jumped the curb near Macy’s flagship store at
Herald Square around 4 p.m. and hit the pedestrians on the
sidewalk, police said, adding that the driver remained at the
scene.
Video footage at the scene showed a damaged yellow taxi on the
sidewalk cordoned off by police tape. The car’s front bumper
appeared to have fallen off. The taxi was towed away later in
the evening.
