North Bellmore, New York – Quick thinking by a Long Island police officer probably saved a handful of lives on Tuesday.
As the Daily Mail reported, a Long Island police officer used a police SUV to knock down a woman suffering a dangerous meltdown in the middle of a busy intersection. The paper notes that the unidentified 33-year-old female was firing a semi-automatic pistol in the air and threatening motorists by pointing it at them.
Nassau County Police told the Daily Mail that police were called to the scene at roughly 2:20 PM.
A video shot by a pedestrian shows the female walking sideways in the street before pointing the gun at her head.
