NYPD cop recklessly swerves squad car towards scooter rider, putting lives at risk on Van Wyck Expressway in Queens
When the scooter rider attempts to merge into another lane, the officer immediately follows, swerving across two lanes of traffic to stay in front of the scooter. Each time the scooter moves to another lane, the squad car follows, on several occasions lurching extremely close to the rider.
At one point, the cop veers within inches of the scooter, forcing the operator to make a sharp evasive maneuver, before getting off the highway at College Point Boulevard. The squad car does not follow the scooter once the rider turns into the exit. The person who took the video can be heard simultaneously dialing 311 in an attempt to report the conduct.
“Look at this guy! Look at him,” the video taker says before letting out a gasp. “Oh my God, he’s trying to hit him!”An NYPD spokesperson did not identify the officer involved when asked by amNewYork Metro, simply saying “we are aware of the video and it is under internal review.”
