Reckless hit-and-run driver strikes 3 women after pre-dawn NYC clash: cops

A hit-and-run driver rammed into three women after a pre-dawn Bronx clash over the weekend, cops said Monday – as the NYPD released footage of the reckless motorist swerving onto the sidewalk. 

The unidentified motorist, behind the wheel of a blue Mitsubishi Outlander, got into a fight with a group gathered on East Tremont Avenue near Puritan Avenue in Schuylerville around 4:30 a.m. Sunday, police said. 

He then drove onto the sidewalk, striking three women, 27, 31 and 40 — all of whom are strangers to him, cops said. 

All three were taken to Jacobi Medical Center, where they were listed in stable condition. 

Surveillance footage released early Monday begins as the callous SUV driver goes off the sidewalk and back onto the street, before swerving onto the opposite sidewalk – moments after someone is shown darting from the vehicle’s path. 

Details on what sparked the dispute remain unclear.

The NYPD also released an image of the driver, described as a man with a heavy build, last seen wearing a black shirt, black-colored pants, white sneakers and wearing a red baseball cap.

Anyone with information on the hit-and-run is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
