I hope they use every resource the NYPD has to look at every video feed from everywhere this car was parked until they find the perp. Then charge him with as many counts of attempted first degree murder as there are seats in that car.
Poor situational awareness by the officer. They install emergency brakes for back up.
As far as I know the only cut to a brakeline, outside of Hollywood, that wouldn’t be immediately noticibly the first time you hit the brakes would be a very precise measured partial cut that would blow out at a certain pressure.
That’s attempted murder
