A New York City Police Department officer on Sunday shot a driver who was attempting to evade cops after the vehicle was reportedly stolen, according to authorities.
A silver Kia Sportage was reported stolen from the Bronx and tracked through license plate readers before it was later located by police as the driver was traveling along West Fordham Road.
Officers attempted to pull over the driver and repeatedly ordered the driver and passenger to step out of the vehicle.

The driver allegedly reversed the car and struck multiple officers and an unmarked police vehicle before driving forward and hitting another cop.
“As members of the NYPD were around the car, the driver of the stolen vehicle put the car into reverse, hitting one member, hitting one of the unmarked vehicles, and ultimately hitting … multiple members of the NYPD. He then put the Kia into drive and turned the wheels of the Kia to the right, where Sergeant was standing. He drove the car into the sergeant who was thrown to the ground,” said Aneudy Castillo, assistant chief and commanding officer of Patrol Borough Bronx North.
As the driver continued attempting to leave the area, an officer on top of a nearby vehicle opened fire and struck the driver.
The driver was transported to Saint Barnabas Hospital in stable condition. The cops involved in the incident were also taken to local hospitals in stable condition.
