At least nine people have reportedly been injured after a car plowed into New Year’s Eve revelers near Madison Square Garden in New York City.

A mass casualty incident was said to have been declared following the horror crash on West 34th Street and 9th Avenue. 

Police were called to the scene around 1:40am local time, as crowds would have been departing nearby Times Square after watching the ball drop to ring-in 2024. 

The vehicle mounted the sidewalk and ran down civilian and cops before coming to a stop, reports suggest.

Pictures from the scene appear to show three cars involved in the wreck, two black cars and a yellow taxi. While a video showed a man being stretchered away, appearing to be conscious.
