A taxi driver blew a red light, plowed into two pedestrians near Rockefeller Center on Sunday – then sped away without stopping, cops said. 

The man and woman were crossing Sixth Avenue around 2:40 p.m. when a yellow cab went a red light and slammed into them while heading east on West 48th Street in Midtown, police said.

The injured pair – who were walking together – were taken to Mount Sinai hospital, where they were listed in stable condition, police said.
