It goes without saying that road rages and car chases are dangerous, but it's actually amplified in an area as densely populated as Manhattan in New York City. And, most especially, if it's in the hands of a dangerous driver who doesn't want to be apprehended by cops.
The incident, which has been captured on video, began when officers attempted to stop a black Cadillac at 38th Street and Seventh Avenue. The driver avoided apprehension and fled, but was later spotted at Madison and 30th. The driver attempted to get away by backing up, but ended up hitting two NYPD officers. The suspect then drove onto the sidewalk, crashing into an outdoor restaurant and weaving down the sidewalk and the street before colliding with a street sign and a hydrant.
