    Multiple people, including a nine-year-old child – have been injured after a taxi plowed into pedestrians in New York’s Herald Square in a Christmas Day horror. 

    The NYPD told DailyMail.com the vehicle was traveling north on Sixth Avenue when it veered off onto the sidewalk and struck six people. The first 911 calls received about the crash at 6th and West 34th Street came in at 4:03pm.

    The crash was caused by the taxi driver, who is a 58-year-old man, having a possible medical episode, DailyMail.com has confirmed.

    All six people who got hit by the cab were left with non-life threatening injuries. The victims were a nine-year-old male, a 19-year-old female, a 37-year-old female, a 41-year-old female and two 49-year-old females, according to the NYPD. 

    The nine-year-old sustained a laceration to his right thigh and the 41-year-old had a head injury. Both were taken to Weill Cornell Medical center.

    One 49-year-old woman was taken to Bellevue Hospital with a leg injury.  The remaining three female victims, aged 19, 37 and 49, all refused medical attention, police said.

    The NYPD said all six victims were in stable condition, though no information on the taxi driver’s condition was given. 

    The driver has not been identified. Police have also not yet made any arrests or charged anyone.

    Officers are still investigating the scene of the crash, but it appeared to be an accident.

    Dean Moses, an amNewYork reporter, was on the scene and got footage of the stalled taxi cab which he said ‘jumped the curb.’

    An eyewitness also told Moses that the wheels on the cab were still spinning after it came to a stop. The vehicle’s hood was up and showed signs of damage.

    A man related to one of the victims told PIX11 that his wife ‘got hit on her left side.’ The man, a tourist visiting New York for the holidays said he got his wife and daughter out of the way before noticing that ‘two other people had been hit.’

    ‘A lady and her son were both struck underneath. The driver never hit the brakes, so everything was still spinning,’ he said.

    He added that the boy’s leg was stuck underneath the wheel of the taxi. 

    Herald Square is home to Macy’s flagship department store, where tourists flock over the Christmas period, especially December 25. 

    Police are on scene at the major shopping district right in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. The NYPD said the investigation is ongoing.
