A Jersey City man was arrested on drunken driving charges after a collision that injured five people early Sunday morning outside Radio City Music Hall, police said.
Imran Ahmed, 27, was driving a Mercedes north on Sixth Avenue at a high rate of speed around 4:45 a.m. when he ran a red light at 50th Street and rammed into an airport shuttle van, according to the NYPD.
The collision sent both vehicles spinning in the roadway outside Radio City.
The van's driver and his three passengers, whom police did not identify, were taken to Bellevue and NewYork-Presbyterian hospitals for minor injuries.
Ahmed suffered minor injuries.
Tourists were walking in the area near the collision, but none was hurt, police said.
