The video shows that when a vehicle believed to be involved in several high-end robberies took off on a Manhattan sidewalk, a New York Police Department official fired three shots at it and nearly hit a pedestrian trying to evade arrest.

CCTV footage showed that at about 1:20 am on October 11, several unmarked police cars were parked next to a black BMW parked between West 28th Street, 6th Avenue and 7th Avenue, in the luxurious Pergola Restaurant And outside the hookah bar. 

This car matches the description of a car related to several robberies in several high-end restaurants and jewelry stores. The police have run a license plate that does not match Beemer.

The video showed that a policeman in uniform tried to load the BMW in, but in order to escape, the driver suddenly popped out of the curb, slammed on the accelerator, and took off along the sidewalk.

This dramatic footage shows that the car made several unsuspecting pedestrians stand outside the restaurant to escape, and they were almost injured when they entered the front door in time.

It was then that New York Police Officer Corey Titus (Corey Titus) fired three shots at the BMW, hitting the front windshield of the car.

In the body camera lens of Officer Titus, you can hear people outside yelling, and at the same time, you can hear the sound of the car's engine speeding up. As the car accelerated and fired on the front driver's side of the windshield, he fired. When he started pursuing, the video was interrupted.

The police said that no one was shot dead in this encounter.

According to police sources, the car drove about one block and then hit a pole, causing the driver and two passengers to run on foot. The police found a 9mm pistol in the car, covered with broken glass and blood.

The suspects are believed to be members of a vicious high-end robbery group. They call themselves "OED", which means "own every dollar", and belong to the notorious Trinitarios group in the Bronx. Sources said they suspected that they were involved in at least one murder.

A Manhattan police officer described the group of about 20 people as "evil" to the Washington Post.
