BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — A Jeep was making a U-turn in a busy Brooklyn supermarket when it abruptly backed up, clipping a man with a cane and then slamming through the storefront Friday afternoon, witnesses said.
The black Jeep's driver sent glass and debris flying when he crashed through the front of Junior's at 994 Myrtle Ave., near Marcus Garvey Boulevard, just after noon, witnesses and an FDNY official said.
Anna Ziglar, 47, was heading into the supermarket when she heard a security guard shout, "Get out of the way," she said.
The pedestrian with a cane was clipped and knocked to the ground as the SUV careened into the grocer, witnesses said.
"Glass went everywhere. He was going fast," Ziglar added.
"We heard a bang and everyone started running. It scared us. We ran. It was very terrifying," Consuelo Sud, 52, said.
The Jeep's driver and a man who was hit by the vehicle were treated for minor injuries at Kings County and Woodhull hospitals, witnesses and an FDNY official said.
The other man who was injured was walking with a cane through the parking lot when the Jeep's window clipped him, according to Eliezer Ortiz, 47.
"Everything happened so fast. He got bruised on his arm and his whole right leg," Ortiz said.
The driver was bleeding from the head when he was taken into an ambulance, witnesses said.
The Department of Buildings was also responding to the scene of the crash, a spokesman said.
An NYPD spokeswoman did not have information about the incident.
Friday afternoon's crash came two days after a box truck plowed through the storefront windows of a Forest Hills bagel shop and injured six people.
