Police say several people were injured after a taxi hit pedestrians on a sidewalk near Herald Square around 4 p.m. on Christmas day. A 9-year-old boy, a 41-year-old woman and a 49-year-old woman were sent to local hospitals and are in stable condition, police say. A 58-year-old man was driving a taxi on 6th Avenue when he drove onto the sidewalk, according to the NYPD.
