Video obtained exclusively by Eyewitness News shows the U-Haul truck jumping the curb and racing down the sidewalk.Video shows the truck speed onto the sidewalk before the man jumps out of the way just in the nick of time.
The pedestrians were struck at three different locations in Bay Ridge near 5th Avenue and Bay Ridge Parkway by a U-Haul. The U-Haul struck a man in his 30s on 4th Avenue. He was taken to Lutheran Hospital in critical condition. Three other men on mopeds were struck and suffered minor injuries.Former NYPD Chief of Detectives and ABC News Contributor Robert Boyce says its difficult to not compare this instance to.
"It's the first thing I thought," Boyce said. "I worked the Sayfull Saipov case I remember how dangerous it was and what he did and how deadly it was. That was the first thing that came to mind when I heard the rented truck. So let's hope it's not that and it's a person in mental distress at this point and it's nothing more than that.
