Police are looking for a man who drove over the hood of a police car parked next to him after an officer shot a taser at him Tuesday night.
The incident occurred just after 7 p.m. outside 180 Troye Avenue in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn.
The video shows an NYPD officer pointing his taser at the driver’s side window of a white Hyundai Sonata parked next to the curb.
The car begins to jolt violently and crashes into the two cars in front of it.
The officer keeps his taser pointed at the driver while a stranger behind him shrugs his shoulders in confusion.
Suddenly, the car pulls away from the spot, spins at a 45-degree angle – and releases its chassis – and drives over the unmarked police vehicle parked next to it, according to a video received from the New York Post.

The officers first approached the moving vehicle, in which there were three people, as it was parked in a no-parking zone, according to the NYPD.
The officers smelled marijuana and ordered the 29-year-old driver out of the car.
He obeyed, but an unidentified man in the passenger seat hopped into the driver’s seat – causing a stalemate with an officer that resulted in a trampled police car.
