Two suspects in New York were arrested this week after ramming an allegedly stolen Jeep at knifepoint into a school bus full of children while being pursued by police.
Police in Rochester, New York, say two suspects stole a red jeep at knifepoint from a 51-year-old woman before being spotted by officers trying to stop traffic, Fox 5 New York reported this week.
During the stop, police told the suspects to get out of the vehicle, but the driver put the vehicle in reverse, crashed into one of the police cars, and drove off.
Bystander Raymond González heard the sirens and pulled out his phone in time to record the Jeep flying the wrong way down a street before crashing into the school bus carrying 17 children.
The two suspects then jumped out of the car and fled on foot.
Officers can be seen in the video chasing one of the suspects and yelling at him to “get on the ground” before finally apprehending him.
“Fortunately, the driver and all students were uninjured as a result of the accident,” the Rochester Police Department said in a statement. “The city school district was informed of the accident and arranged for each student to be transported home.”
The suspects were identified as Maliq McCullough, 20, and Adeosun Hughes, 23, and both have been charged for their part in the incident.
McCullough faces charges of first degree robbery, second degree assault and third and fourth degree larceny, while Hughes has been charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
