Many Injured, Inc. Police After Car Ploughs Into N.York Revellers on New Years' Eve
Multiple People Injured After Driver Ploughs Into New Years' Eve Revellers in New York...Driver, 44 Year Old Man, Arrested
Police were called to the mass casualty near Madison Square Garden after a car reportedly mounted the sidewalk and ran down several people, injuring two police officers
MailOnline 1 JAN 2024
At least nine people were injured in New York City overnight after a car plowed into New Year's Eve revellers and police officers while evading cops after a dispute with another person.
Among the injured were nine individuals, including two New York Police officers. The incident occurred on West 34th Street and 9th Avenue around 1:40 am local time, just as crowds were leaving Times Square after the iconic crystal ball drop to ring in 2024. Reports say the car mounted the sidewalk, hitting multiple people and police officers before coming to a halt.
The driver, a 44 year old man, is now in custody and was taken to Bellevue Hospital for treatment.
The chase by the police ended in a crash involving three cars - two black cars and a yellow taxi. Images from the scene show a man being stretchered away, but thankfully, no deaths have been reported.
