Wild video from the Upper West Side shows a man escaping the back of an NYPD patrol car after some sort of shooting — then getting tackled by several officers in the middle of an intersection.
A chaotic scene broke out while police were on the scene after a person was shot on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
The incident was reported Monday outside the Amsterdam Houses on West 63rd Street just after 4 p.m.
Officials say 27-year-old Joshua Wiley was shot at the location, but was taken to the hospital and is expected to survive.
During the course of the investigation, a number of people were taken into custody.
Raymond Johnson, 28, somehow escaped from the back of a police car while in handcuffs, but was soon stopped in the middle of the intersection and tackled to the ground by multiple officers.

What an amazing police force! 7 officers were needed to take down one man!
This is a shocking violation of יהושע Wiley’s “Civil Rights”.
New York’s finest
Guys, look again! It was a woman policeman that tackled him first and then the rest played dog pile on him.
She deserves the credit. . .

Look closely it’s a man with long hair look when he gets up
