A box truck mowed down a 69-year-old pedestrian on the Upper East Side early Monday, cops said.
The male victim was crossing at East 89th Street and Second Avenue around 4:40 a.m. when the truck crashed into him, authorities said.
The victim was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, where he was initially listed in critical condition but stabilized later in the morning, cops said.
He suffered a severe injury to his right arm, police said.
The 37-year-old box-truck driver stayed at the scene, police said.
By later in the morning, it did not appear that there was any criminality involved, cops said.
The incident comes a day after a Queens woman was crushed between parked cars as she tried to stop an out-of-control stolen truck — leaving her gravely injured on the ground as her young daughter screamed, “Mommy!”
