An armed police officer was hurled from a speedy BMW as he tried to stop the vehicle from traveling the wrong way down a one-way street in Times Square, according to the NYPD.
The 2020 BMW X3 was at 46th Street and Seventh Avenue around 3 a.m. Saturday when the cop grabbed the passenger side door, police said.
But the silver SUV zipped away, and “dragged the cop to the ground” in the process, a police spokesperson said.
