In Second Horrific Overnight Incident, NYPD Officer Launched Into Air By Hit-And-Run Driver

In a second overnight ramming incident involving New York police, a hit-and-run driver struck an officer in the Bronx early Tuesday morning.

Video posted to Twitter shows a dark sedan accelerating towards the officer at the intersection of East 170th Street and Walton Avenue in Mt. Eden, striking his body and sending him flying through the air into the middle of the intersection, according to the New York Post.

The officer was taken to Bellevue Hospital and is expected to survive, according to the report.

"Oh sh-t!". The officer landed in the middle of the intersection and several other people, presumably officers, rushed over.

An NYPD van with its sirens flashing then pulled up and the injured officer was escorted into the vehicle.

BREAKING: A trooper and an officer were hit by a car that blew through a line of officers at the protest on Bailey Avenue according to PBA President John Evans.

At least one officer is directly crushed under the vehicle in the graphic footage, and it appears multiple are down, with others rushing to aid and pull them from the street.
