NYPD Cop Knocked Down By Drifting Mercedes C63 In Times Square

The hunt is on in New York for a man filmed knocking a police officer down with his car during an escape from Times Square, where he and some buddies were causing trouble.

The offender was driving a black Mercedes C63 AMG, drifting and lighting a one-tyre fire along sections of the famously brightly-lit square in Manhattan before an NYPD cop, on foot, tried to arrest him. The driver hit the gas and pushed the policeman a short distance before knocking him to the floor and speeding away.

After that, the chase, filmed the whole way, moved down a block or two where it seems that the driver side-swiped a whole bunch of cars in order to get away. There’s every chance that the car was stolen, the driver had no licence and/or insurance, or there was a huge stash of drugs on board. Or worse.

Be warned, this video contains NSFW language and the use of the ‘N-word,’ which some may find offensive.
