Police said the 63-year-old former Jets coach was driving just before midnight last Thursday when he made a right turn and ran over the feet of two people crossing the street, according to a press release. The pedestrians told police Ryan allegedly kept driving, but they caught up to him at a red light. After an argument, Ryan got out of his vehicle. The pedestrians told police Ryan left without exchanging information, but they took a photo of his license plate. Police issued a warrant for Ryan’s arrest. He faces two counts each of leaving the scene of an accident, failing to provide information or render aid and failing to obey traffic signals. Ryan’s bond was set at $6,000.
