Police are searching for a suspect who hit and killed a taxi driver before fleeing the scene on the Upper East Side, police officials said.

The victim, Mohamed Elwaleed, 44, stepped out of his taxi at about 12:30 p.m. after he and the suspect got into a dispute on Madison Avenue near 65th Street, police said. Once Elwaleed exited the cab, the suspect hit and killed him, police said.

The suspect, who was driving a 1995 Nissan Altima, ran away from the scene of the accident on foot, police said.

While police identified a suspect yesterday, an arrest was not made.
