Heart-pounding NYPD body-cam footage captures the moment a reckless teen driver struck a cop with his stolen ride before leading officers on a roof-hopping chase.

Keyah Richardson, 19, was driving a stolen white sedan when cops pulled him over around 5 p.m. Sunday at 34th Avenue and 99th Street in North Corona, police said. 

“Don’t move, don’t move, police!” one officer yelled, before drawing his gun, video released by NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry shows.

The motorist can be seen backing up onto the sidewalk – just missing a little girl walking with her mom – before striking the roll-down metal shutters of a building on the block.

“Yo, get out of the car!” Don’t move!” the officer ordered.  

But instead, the driver stepped on the gas, making a screeching sound as he struck another cop – pinning him between the sedan and a parked car, the footage shows. 

“Don’t move, don’t move, police!” an officer demanded, but the motorist instead accelerated, video shows. NYPD

Richardson then put the pedal to the metal in a bid to flee, driving several blocks and striking multiple cars – before ditching his ride and leading his pursuers on an obstacle course, according to Daughtry.

“Your [Community Response Team] officers would not let him get away after he tried to kill one of their own,” Daughtry said. 

“They chased him on foot, up to the number 7 train line, from the platform to the street, to a building, up a ladder, onto the roof of a building, and jumped to a second roof,” the police official said. “He ran out of road to run and was trapped.”

Richardson was lying down on the ground of the second rooftop when cops closed in on him.

“Do not move!” an officer warned as he approached, weapon in hand. 

“I didn’t do anything,” Richardson could be heard saying, before cops cuffed him.

“Utilizing our NYPD Aviation Units and with the assistance of ESU, we were finally able to end this suspect’s criminal rampage and apprehend him,” Daughtry wrote. 

Richardson was slapped with nearly a dozen charges, including attempted aggravated murder, first-degree reckless endangerment, leaving the scene of an accident with injury, vehicular assault, fleeing an officer in a motor vehicle and grand larceny auto, cops said. 

He has no prior arrests, authorities said.

The officer was treated at a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, the NYPD said.

“Another stolen car recovered, another violent criminal off your streets, and most importantly, your cops go home to their families,” Daughtry wrote.
