Disturbing video that the
NYPD released Saturday shows
an enraged hit-and-run driver
running over a school bus operator
on a Brooklyn street on Friday
afternoon.
The victim in the brazen attack,
a 44-year-old woman, suffered
severe body trauma in the
vehicular attack, which took
place at about 5:15 pm on April 30
at the corner of Hinsdale Street
and Linden Boulevard in New
Lots.
The video shows the school
bus stopped at a light on the eastbound
service lanes of Linden
Boulevard with the suspect and
his vehicle, a 2020 gray Subaru
CTK, directly behind it. The perpetrator
gets out of the SUV and
walks to the front of the school
bus, apparently to confront the
driver.
Seconds later, the video cuts
to the school bus operator standing
on the median of Linden Boulevard
and talking with the suspect,
who had returned to the
Subaru CTK. Seconds later, the
Subaru driver turns to the left
and drives right over the median,
striking the victim.
The video shows the suspect
driving his car right over the victim,
leaving her lying on the Linden
Boulevard pavement, before
turning southbound on Hinsdale
Street and fl eeing the scene.
