Video from an NYPD helicopter captured the high-speed crash, followed by two suspects who attempted to escape on foot.
Within minutes, officers on the ground would end a reign of terror that spanned three boroughs over a couple of hours."These young cops, midnight cops all working together, hearing each other speak, we have our aviation units, our eye in the sky, you have our highway people out there all converging, talking together and working as one," NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said.
The suspects, 24-year-old Carlos Perez and 34-year-old Alvin Velez, have long criminal records and were both were on parole. Police expressed frustration that the two had been arrested several times while on parole. "We don't violate their parole, they're out on the street, right through three boroughs, pointing guns at people, pistol whipping people, we're lucky something more serious didn't happen, they should not have been out on the street," NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said.
