NextImg:NYPD SUV tries to knock rider off moped in terrifying caught-on-video traffic incident

A shocking Reddit video shows an NYPD SUV swerving around a Queens highway, apparently trying to ram a moped rider and knock them off their vehicle in the middle of traffic.

The 39-second clip, taken by the occupants of a car just behind the officer and posted Wednesday by a Redditor named MelBloccs, captured the SUV attempting to box in the moped by pushing it toward a cement divider on what appears to be the Van Wyck Expressway.

When the moped slowed down and cut back across the lanes, the SUV banked hard and nearly hit the rider again.

The car’s occupants expressed their shock at the cop’s behavior, saying, “Look at this guy – look at him! Oh my god, he’s trying to hit him!”

They also called 311 to report the officer’s behavior and list out his license plate.

Eventually, the rider swung off onto Exit 12A, and the cop continued straight.

An NYPD spokesperson told The Post Thursday that the department was “aware of the video and it is under internal review.”

Several Reddit users were outraged by the officer’s driving.
