NYPD Cruiser Wrecked Itself Before It Checked Itself

This nearly split in half NYPD cruiser was spotted by BlackBook Media's feared respected Chris Mohney on 34th Street and Park Avenue a few weeks ago. It was about 12:30pm in the afternoon when Mohney came upon the scene. No one seems to know exactly what happened or what led to this extraordinary sight of a NYPD cruiser forcefully converted into a convertible.


Mohney told NYC The Blog: "...some guy was regaling the gawkers with a story about them having to saw the car open to get someone out, but it was puzzling...car didn’t look wrecked or seem like it was crushed or anything else that would make it impossible to open. A mystery."

UPDATED: Golden Gloves: 3 Boys Attack One Man In Herald Square Area; Man Turns The Tables, Attacks All Three

YouTube user khemist49 uploaded a video last week filmed on 34th Street and 5th Avenue, showing what appears to be three young adults attacking one man. At the five second mark, you can hear a passerby ask someone in reference to the man outnumbered: "Are you gonna help him?" The situation looks bleak as the attacked retreats into the road and in front of a taxi, dodging multiple blows along the way.
