One officer got the door open to the taxi while the other was in front of the vehicle blocking its path.

Or so the officer thought.

As the officers investigate, they’re seen talking to the driver for a short time. The taxi driver then tries to flee, but one of the officers jumps on the hood of the car.

Another traffic camera caught the officer still clinging to the hood of the vehicle as the taxi drove down the street.
