The accident happened around after 7 p.m. The report states that the law enforcement officer attempted to veer out of the path of the child but was unsuccessful.
The patrol car struck the little girl and knocked her to the ground, according to a 61-year-old woman who witnessed the accident. The witness also stated that the accident “could have killed her.” The witness also stated that the child never lost consciousness and that she was screaming, and the child suffered a lot of pain.

The news article stated that the police officer who was driving the patrol car and who had struck the girl tried to help the girl to her feet. A crowd of onlookers shouted to the police officer that he should not be moving the accident victim. The witness also stated that the police officer seemed upset, rattled, and he was even shaking.
A 34-year-old nurse, from the Bronx, stated in the news article that she attempted to back the crowd away from the accident scene so that the child’s mother could come to be at her child’s side. The mother lived close to the scene of the pedestrian accident. The child stated that she wanted to go to her home. Emergency medical technicians arrived at the scene and transported the child to the Harlem Hospital, according to a spokesperson for the FDNY.
