Video: NYPD fatally shoots driver on Brooklyn’s Belt Parkway after possible abduction call

NYPD officers fatally shot a van driver on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn, New York, on Saturday night after responding to a 911 call about a possible abduction. Police later found the woman who had been in the van unhurt and said they now believe the screaming reported by callers stemmed from a domestic dispute.

Around 7:19 p.m., callers reported seeing a girl kicking and screaming inside a white van near West 22nd Street and Surf Avenue, police said. The van fled and became stuck in eastbound traffic on the Belt Parkway.

Police said the driver refused officers’ commands and began ramming police and civilian vehicles. Officers opened fire after pepper spray and a Taser failed to stop him. The driver died at Lutheran Medical Center.

Police said the driver was wanted for unlawful imprisonment and domestic assault involving the same woman.
