A car jumped the curb at Herald Square late Wednesday night, injuring seven people, including the driver, police said.

An arrest is still pending, police said. It’s unclear if the driver was intoxicated at the time of the accident.

Five pedestrians were injured, as well as the drivers of both cars. The injured were taken to Bellevue Hospital Center, police said.
