"Yeah, just to get their food. Yeah, that is some heartless stuff right there," the employee continued.

It happened so fast that workers didn't get a look at the car or the license plate. They were more concerned about the 48-year-old victim, who was left in critical condition with severe injuries after being rushed to Jamaica Hospital.

Witnesses say the victim appeared to be intoxicated before falling and being run over.

The NYPD is still searching for the driver and checking surveillance video.
