Early yesterday morning, a yellow cab ran over a man in the South Bronx, pinning him under the vehicle, and WABC 7 got footage of police officers lifting the cab off of the pedestrian:
The incident occurred at East 138th Street and Brown Place around 2:30 a.m., and the police officers' efforts allowed emergency responders to get the man, who was in cardiac arrest, to the hospital. The person filming can be overheard on the video saying, "F---ing great, you guys." The victim is in critical condition, the driver was not charged.
