Body cam footage has been released from the NYPD police officers who cleared the streets in the wake of the deadly U-Haul rampage in front of Bay Ridge Prep on Ridge Boulevard near 81st Street on Monday.
The clip was released on the NYPD Twitter account Tuesday night.
“On Monday morning, with a man violently driving a U-Haul truck and striking people just blocks away, these 68th Precinct officers cleared dozens of elementary school children, teachers, and staff from this Brooklyn Playstreet in an effort to save lives. (1 of 2)”
“This is Neighborhood Policing and your officer’s actions further exemplify the NYPD’s unwavering commitment to protecting the communities we serve. (2 of 2)”
Watch the clip above.
From The New York Post:
As cops rushed over to the children, joined by adults, an officer can be heard yelling, “Let’s go! Inside! Guys, get off the street! Inside the school!”
The footage cuts off as the kids run back into the school.

The suspect, identified by cops as Weng Sor, 62, hurtled his U-Haul through Bay Ridge, into Dyker Heights, and back in Bay Ridge – striking at least eight people, authorities said.
Three of the victims were on a bike, three were on a moped, one was on an e-bike and one was walking when they were hit, officials have said.
Yijie Ye, 44, a father of three who took a job as an Uber Eats driver to help feed his kids, was killed in the rampage.
Ye was struck at Bay Ridge Parkway and Fifth Avenue and suffered a serious head injury, police said. He succumbed to his injuries at NYU Langone-Brooklyn.
