#Driver crashes into NYC business, points gun at workers while fleeing

The firs were flying in Harlem Sunday night when a driver slammed his car into the Christmas tree display at a well-known garden center — and then pulled a gun on workers who chased him as he fled on foot, police and witnesses said.

The male driver crashed through a fence of the Urban Garden Center at East 116th Street and Park Avenue at about 6:30 p.m., authorities said, leaving a path of holiday destruction in his wake.

The man then crawled out of his smashed-up vehicle and took off, with several workers of the business in tow, according to police and witnesses.

The suspect pointed a firearm at his pursuers and got away, according to police.

Nobody was injured during the incident, and the man was still being sought Monday morning, authorities said.

The Urban Garden Center, which is located under the elevated Metro-North tracks, has been owned by the Gatanas family for nearly 60 years, according to the business website.
