Woman, 31, fatally mowed down by hit-and-run driver possibly fleeing knife fight outside NYC bar
QUEENS, NEW YORK: A woman, 31, died after a hit-and-run driver “intentionally” mowed her down as he fled a possible knife fight, police said. The woman was killed following a fight at a nearby Queens nightclub where four people were allegedly slashed. The knife fight began just before 2:45 am on Saturday, September 24, outside the Showtime Bar & Lounge at 119-12 101st Ave, Queens. Four men were hurt in the altercation.
At the time, the NYPD was responding to two calls at the same time -- one of a pedestrian who was struck at 120th Street and 97th Avenue and another of a huge group that was involved in a fight two blocks away. Cops found the woman lying on the street with massive body trauma. She was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where she was declared dead.
