Four people were injured early this morning when a car slammed into 2A on the southwest corner of Second Street and Avenue A just after midnight. 

According to police sources, the male driver fled the scene but was arrested after a brief foot chase. The NYPD said the driver was not intoxicated.

The vehicle struck the front of the building, causing visible damage to the exterior.
An employee told EVG that no one inside the building was hurt, and there was no interior damage. 

The conditions of the injured people outside were not immediately known. 

This was the second collision along Avenue A in the past week. On Oct. 30, an SUV collided with a cab at Avenue A and Fourth Street before jumping the curb and traveling down the sidewalk. The driver was injured, but no pedestrians were struck in that earlier incident.
