Cops Injured After Scuffle With Man Who Rammed Patrol Car
Three NYPD officers were injured in scuffle to remove a driver out of his car's window after he allegedly rammed into a patrol vehicle following a traffic stop.
Polices say they pulled over a 57-year-old man Wednesday afternoon on 48th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues for a seat belt violation but the driver refused to show his identification and cooperate.
The man, who's also suspected of driving under the influence, rolled up his window, turned up his radio and then accelerated into the rear end of the police's cruiser, according to police.
Officers then broke the suspect's window and in the attempt to pull him out of the vehicle and restrain him, two officers and a captain were injured.
The confrontation was recorded on cellphone video by many bystanders. One of the videos show at least seven officers surrounding the man who was on the ground.
The driver's identity has not been release. Police say he was transported to the hospital for evaluation.
