A driver slammed into a pedestrian in the Bronx — sending him flying into the air — then took off for the nearest police station after bystanders threatened him, cops said.
The 25-year-old driver, whose identity wasn’t released, was zooming south on Creston Avenue in a 2018 Mercedes Benz C43 Saturday night when he hit a man crossing at 183rd Street, according to police.
The 26-year-old victim, who is believed to be homeless, was “sent airborne” from the impact, police said.
The driver remained on scene — where he was confronted by angry bystanders, according to a police source who told The Post “the people wanted to kill him.”
The pedestrian suffered severe trauma to his head and legs. Christopher Sadowski
