In a second overnight ramming incident involving New York police, a hit-and-run driver struck an officer in the Bronx early Tuesday morning.
Video posted to Twitter shows a dark sedan accelerating towards the officer at the intersection of East 170th Street and Walton Avenue in Mt. Eden, striking his body and sending him flying through the air into the middle of the intersection, according to the New York Post.

The officer was taken to Bellevue Hospital and is expected to survive, according to the report.
“That’s a f–ing cop,” a woman recording the footage says after impact. “Oh sh-t!”
The officer landed in the middle of the intersection and several other people, presumably officers, rushed over.
An NYPD van with its sirens flashing then pulled up and the injured officer was escorted into the vehicle.
“Oh my god, oh my god!” witnesses could be heard saying. -New York Post
