A Queens man made a death-defying leap from an elevated subway platform to a neighboring store roof as he tried to flee from cops.
Kendall Floyd, 25, was initially pulled over for driving without a seatbelt at the an intersection in Brooklyn, shortly after 4pm on Wednesday.
But the altercation quickly escalated after Floyd struck his vehicle door open, wounded an officer in the arm, and fled the scene, The New York Post reported.
He was then cornered by police at an intersection about three minutes away, but refused to surrender and instead scaled the support beam of a raised subway platform and onto the elevated tracks.
As terrified onlookers and police officers begged him to climb down, Floyd made the death-defying leap from the tracks to a roof.
He was later arrested and transported to Woodhull Medical Center, where he was treated for a leg injury. It's unclear how severe his injury was.
During Floyd's escape attempt, officers cornered him three blocks away but Floyd seemed determined to evade police and tried his luck by making the jump.
'Don't do it, man! It's not worth it!' a man recording the incident pleaded with Floyd.
After Floyd landed on the roof of the business, the video shows officers trying to gain access to the roof by climbing a next-door fence.
Floyd has been charged with assault on a police officer, reckless endangerment and official misconduct.

*MJ laced brownies were involved.
The headline implies that he was finally caught when pulled over for not wearing a seat belt.
The article states that the seat belt incident was at the beginning of the chase.
“This might happen if you do not wear your Seat belt in NYC”
True, it looks like half of NYPD was there. But murder a store owner, that’s discouraged, and you’re let off with a warning.
Also noted that Angie Dickinson and most of the men didn’t even try to scale the fence.
Hope he did a good PLF.
“Millions of years of evolution and democrat America is back to the trees.”
I hear you, but gotta admit, that dude is a stud!
A good PLF is any PLF you can walk away from!
No doubt
