A New York City police officer fired several rounds at a white Porsche as it broke through a police roadblock Sunday morning on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn, law enforcement sources said.
Police officers set up the roadblock for all lanes on the Belt Parkway West in connection to a fleeing vehicle from an earlier theft of a catalytic converter in the 61st precinct, the sources told News 4.
Around 6:45 a.m., the suspects allegedly drove through the roadblock and toward one of the officers manning the checkpoint. Law enforcement sources said one officer fired at least three rounds as it fled west. The bullets reportedly struck the car's tires.
