Cyclist struck by stolen cab in Manhattan; no arrests: police sources

MANHATTAN, New York (WABC) -- Police are investigating after a cyclist was struck by a stolen cab in Manhattan on Thursday, according to police sources.

They say a cab driver got out of his Toyota RAV4 and left the engine running as he went to grab food around 9:15 p.m.

That's when a male suspect got into the cab and struck a cyclist near Second Avenue and East 33rd Street as he fled from the scene.

The cyclist refused medical attention and the vehicle was recovered near East 35th Street and Park Avenue.

There are no arrests, and the investigation remains ongoing.
