MIAMI, Fla. — A dramatic video shows a Miami Police officer firing his weapon through the windshield of a moving BMW while clinging to the vehicle’s hood, NBC Miami reported.
According to Miami Police, the incident began when the driver struck the officer with his vehicle near Biscayne Boulevard and 2nd Street. Police say that prompted the officer to open fire.
The footage, shared by Billy Corben on Instagram, shows the officer firing three shots into the vehicle before the car comes to a stop. The driver exits the vehicle with his hands up, and a second video appears to show him dropping to the ground before being handcuffed by another officer.
Both the officer and the driver were hospitalized. The extent of their injuries has not been released.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the incident, which is standard in officer-involved shootings. Miami Police said they will not comment further until the investigation concludes but confirmed that both agencies are reviewing all video evidence.
