New York City police say a driver struck a group of pedestrians at an intersection in midtown, injuring ten while attempting to flee from authorities.

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.
