Man Struck By Car After Trying To Break Up UES Fight: Police

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — A person trying to do the right thing and break up a two-on-one fight was slammed by a car when one of the fighters decided to ram into him with her car, police said.

The bizarre and violent episode unfolded at around 5:20 p.m. on Second Avenue near East 92st Street on Tuesday, police said.

A 49-year-old man told police he saw two women fighting with another woman and decided to try and break up the fight, officials said.

As he attempted to calm the brawl, one of the two women jumped into her car — a white Kia with Connecticut plates — and drove the vehicle right into the man, police said.

As the man lay on the ground with injuries to his leg, the other woman in the duo joined the driver in the Kia and fled the scene, heading south on Second Avenue, officials said.

Medics rushed the injured man to the hospital in stable condition, but police had no further details regarding the extent of his injuries.

The remaining woman also left the scene.

A police spokesperson said that officers are searching for the two women who fled in the white Kia and said that anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
