Video: N.Y. Police Officer Pinned Between Vehicles by Fleeing Driver

July 2, 2025
When Yonkers police investigated a driver asleep behind the wheel, the suspect refused to lower his windows and fled the scene, pinning an officer between his vehicle and a cruiser.
New Rochelle police located the vehicle after receiving an alert, and they captured the suspect. He faces multiple charges, including second-degree assault and leaving the scene of an accident with serious physical injury.

The struck officer was rushed to the hospital with an injured leg. He was released a day and is recovering at home.

"This incident highlights a few things—the dangers of being a Police Officer, the restraint and great work of our Officers, the power of law enforcement technology to be able to apprehend suspects safely, coordination between Police Departments here in Westchester, and the importance of following the orders of Police Officers when you encounter one," the department stated.
