Dramatic video shows hit-and-run driver plow into mother and her baby in NYC

Shocking footage shows the moment a still-at-large suspect plowed his car into three people — including a mother and her baby — as he fled a traffic stop in Queens on Wednesday.

The surveillance video, obtained by The Post, captured the horrifying ordeal that begins with police officers speaking with the driver of a black SUV at the intersection of Wyckoff Avenue and George Street in Ridgewood shortly after 5 p.m. 

The 28-year-old mother is seen pushing her 2-year-old daughter in a stroller across the street as one of the officers motions to another cop inside of a police cruiser, when the driver floored the gas and took off, video shows.

He slammed into the mother and child, who were just feet away from where he was pulled over, and hit another 35-year-old man, not related to the woman and child.

The impact hurled the mother into a parked car while the SUV appears to have driven right over the toddler in the middle of the street as onlookers screamed, the clip shows.

The other man, who appeared to be unloading a commercial truck at the time, was knocked into the back of the truck.

What an idiot. You’re in a traffic stop, the cops already have all your info anyway, but you still do something as insanely stupid as this.

Looks like he was fleeing from the cops. Note the two cops at the driver’s door waving the unit at the side street forward.

If I’m reading correctly, they already know who the driver is, because he was just stopped for driving with a suspended license. So, name and face pic, please!
The Mom is lucky and the toddler is beyond lucky.
Only his small size and his disorientation (slow movements) saved him from being run over.

Could be a stolen car, and perhaps even false identification.

And now he's added vehicular assault, maybe even attempted murder, to his resume.

Real Brainiac there.

Only if they are able to determine who he really is, if he used false id. Most criminals are not very bright, and the younger they are, the dumber they are. 🙂

They know who he is because they had just cited him for driving while suspended. I suspect they were about to impound his car and he took off trying to avoid all the tow fees and impound charges.

Now panicking after his hit and run, he abandoned the suv a few blocks away and is hiding out.

Complete moron that will probably have his license revoked for 10 years or so, maybe never if he can’t keep up with the interest on all the fines and fees on his new pay forever plan.
