“Someone who was eyewitness said cab driver fired shots,” a Twitter user wrote.
Video of the scene shows at least two people lying limp in the street.
Police shut down the FDR Drive to rush victims to Bellevue Hospital.

Yikes, set the timer for Coulter’s Law.
On FOX Shep is trying super hard to say it isn’t terrorism. Almost comical, if not for the tragedy of the situation.
If the perp’s name was Thomas Smith or Jones we’d know it already.
As it is Facebook and Twitter are currently being scrubbed before they release the probable “and it’s Muslims” name.
Shep Smith right now doing his best to claim this as a fight between two truck drivers that led to one of them getting on the bike path and subsequently mowed down bike riders and pedestrians, according to him this is anything but a terrorist attack.
Fox says not terror. Says drunk Drove down bicycle path
I just got back to my office from walking about 30 blocks up 3rd Avenue. I heard nearly constant sirens the whole way. Sirens aren’t unusual in NYC but I got the sense something was going on. Now I know.
