VIDEO: Man escapes assassination attempt in Brooklyn
NEW YORK - It played out almost like a scene from a movie. Men in two vehicles attempted to carry out what appears to be a coordinated assassination attempt on the streets of Brooklyn.
It happened on Thursday morning in Bushwick.
The NYPD says about 7:15 a.m., a 19-year-old man was inside his vehicle in front of 21 Granite Street.
Officers say a car attempted to block him. The victim, sensing danger, attempted to flee by driving up onto the sidewalk. He was unsuccessful as he crashed a short time later.
