Video shot by motorists showed the driver desperately trying to escape undercover detectives by ramming several police and commuter vehicles with a Range Rover during the morning rush last Wednesday, Feb. 7.The pair were eventually taken into custody, said New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin.
The attorney general didn’t say what crime or crimes the two teens are suspected of.
Platkin did say his detectives are working with State Police as part of a continuing investigation involving the pair.
“I am grateful to law enforcement for successfully preventing serious injuries to commuters at the George Washington Bridge,” the attorney general said.NJSP detectives had boxed in the Range Rover at the split for the bridge’s upper and lower levels, which led the driver to hit other vehicles before trying to back up the severely damaged SUV.
In one video, a detective in a State Police vest stands in the middle of the road and points his gun with both hands at the Range Rover as another is heard repeatedly shouting “Get out of the car!”
