Dramatic video footage captures NYPD cops desperately trying to stop a fleeing kidnapping suspect on the Belt Parkway before they shot and killed the crazed driver.
Brooklyn officers are seen smashing the windows on the white van as the suspect repeatedly rams police and civilian cars on the packed expressway following a high-speed chase around 7:30 p.m. Saturday, footage posted on X shows.
Sources said police deployed Tasers after the van rammed through a roadblock near Exit 8 – and opened fire when that failed as the vehicle raced toward several officers, the sources said.
The driver, who has not been identified, was pronounced dead at NYU Langone Brooklyn Hospital, police said at an early morning briefing Sunday.
The mayhem began when cops received a 911 call about a possible abduction, with the suspect speeding off when cops tried to pull the van over, leading to the wild scene on the Belt.
Despite the reports, there was no kidnap victim in the vehicle.
Police are continuing to investigate.
