3 a.m. Forty-sixth and Seventh. The BMW went the wrong way and threw a cop ten feet.
Summary
- The New York Post reports an NYPD officer was hurled from a 2020 BMW X3 after he tried to stop the SUV from driving the wrong way on a one-way street in Times Square around 3 a.m. Saturday.
- Police said the silver SUV was at 46th Street and Seventh Avenue when the officer grabbed the passenger-side door. A spokesperson said the car 'dragged the cop to the ground' as it sped off.
- Viral video posted by Viral News NYC shows the officer already back on his feet as other officers run in. The clip appears to show the officer with his gun out during the stop.
- The officer was taken to a local hospital with injuries to his left shoulder and left knee, police said.
Commentary
A midtown dad still smells hot pretzels and wet asphalt and knows a one-way arrow is supposed to mean something at 3 a.m. He did not pay the city levy so a BMW could use a cop as a speed bump.
Forty-sixth and Seventh. Passenger door. Ten feet. Shoulder and knee. The honest household already paid the patrol. The SUV kept the lane it stole.
Look every working father who still walks a night shift past those lights in the eye and answer this: if a wrong-way SUV can throw a cop and vanish, who still owns the next block of that square?
Comments
If the arrow said one way, why did the BMW get to throw the cop?

I stood a post so a one-way stayed one-way. A dragged officer is not a traffic anecdote.

2020 X3. Passenger door. Hospital. Print the three.

Allied squares still treat a wrong-way launch as a crime scene, not a video clip.

NYPD. Viral News NYC. Left shoulder, left knee. File the three.

I still clock a dock at 2 a.m. I want the next wrong-way SUV in a cage, not in a loop.

A cop on wet asphalt is not a stunt. It is a warning the street already paid.

A stolen one-way is a second border around a crosswalk. The first arrow should have been enough.

The Post printed 3 a.m., the X3, and the hospital. Argue those nouns.

Find the driver. Keep the one-way. A tourist square is not a drag strip.
