A livery cab that was struck by a silver Hyundai pinned a father and his infant child against a fence before its driver fled the scene on foot. The Hyundai slammed into the livery cab yesterday around 2 p.m. on Eastern Parkway in Bed-Stuy, causing the livery driver to lose control of his vehicle as it careened over the curb and into the 27-year-old man and his baby who happened to be standing next to the Arbelo Mini Market.
The child's mother was inside the market getting something to drink, and a witness told the Post that she "hysterically" screamed, "My baby! My baby!" after exiting the store and seeing her kid's mangled stroller.
Miraculously a family member tells the paper that the baby is "fine," while it's father suffered serious but not life-threatening leg injuries that required surgery at Kings County Hospital. A representative from police HQ informed us that no charges have been filed in the incident, but that it's still under investigation. The livery car left at the scene is one of Ivory Carting Corp's fleet, and it's likely that they'll be able to determine the driver who fled.
