A man is in custody after a car jumped a curb and slammed into a woman and a produce market in Astoria, then fled the scene.

Witnesses said the white Mercedes-Benz appeared to be trying to get away from unmarked law enforcement vehicles behind it at around 1:30 on Monday afternoon.

Surveillance video from the United Brothers Fruit Market shows the Mercedes-Benz speeding along the sidewalk on 33rd Street as it approaches 30th Avenue. One woman can be seen running out of the way as the vehicle plows into the side of the store. The same vehicle can then be seen hitting another woman on the sidewalk at the corner of 30th Avenue, then fleeing, leaving her on the ground.

"What I saw today was really something I never saw in my life," he said. "I see the car right in front of me pass like 90 miles per hour."
