Reports differ … with the New York Post noting 4 people — including a child — were injured, while CBS says 6 people sustained injuries. First responders checked on several others at the scene as well.
Photos and video from the scene show the street corner thrown into chaos … and the damaged ambulance.
NYP reports the driver was taken into police custody … and a breathalyzer test has been administered.
Unclear exactly what caused the incident … but the Post’s sources are clear that a terrorist attack is not suspected at this time.
