A Brooklyn man is facing assault charges, accused of driving into a group of pedestrians outside Eastern Suffolk BOCES in North Bellport.
Josef McLorrain entered a plea of not guilty at his Friday arraignment.
News 12 spoke with Natalie Williams, who says she was taking a walk with colleagues when she was struck.
She said she suffered a broken shoulder and brain bleed.
"He just ran us over and kept going," Williams said.
She said she wakes up in pain every morning and has dizziness and shortness of breath.
The judge set the defendant's bail at $50,000 cash or $100,000 bond.
