A woman was struck by a limo in Midtown Saturday, witnesses said.

The woman was in the middle of the block on West 34th Street near Sixth Avenue, in front of a Hyundai Santa Fe SUV, around 11:30 a.m., when the white limo merged into a bus lane and struck her, bystanders said.

She had just come out of a Foot Locker on the block, according to David Smith, a security worker at the store.

“She screamed,” Smith said. “Everybody heard it…Sounded like someone threw a garbage can at the car it was so loud.”

“The tire [of the SUV] was between her legs,” he added. She was on her stomach and her lip was bleeding.

A couple, who Smith said were both doctors, rushed to the injured woman’s aid.

First responders placed her in a neck brace and put her on a stretcher. She was taken to Bellevue Hospital Center, the FDNY said.

The driver, who stayed on the scene, snapped “no comment” when approached by reporters.

“Can you not please?” he said. “Thank you for attempting to ruin my career. Thank you. You guys are just attempting to do your huge story. Thank you.”

The driver previously said that he “tried to swerve,” but ended up hitting the woman, according to Smith.

“You’re gonna stay right here, or I’m gonna beat you up,” Smith said he told the driver.

About four women with young children were inside the limo at the time. They apparently got out at the direction of a cop, and embraced the driver.

“The passengers have to know the limo guy, because they were all hugging him,” Smith said.

No arrests were immediately made.
