Car drags Times Square cop

A cop trying to issue a ticket to a livery driver picking up an illegal fare in Times Square yesterday was struck and dragged for a block by the runaway vehicle, authorities and witnesses said.

The cop noticed the black Town Car picking up passengers near the Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant on Broadway at around 6:15 p.m.

The uniformed cop then approached the driver’s window. The driver took off — with the cop holding on to the window for about one block.

“He must have been going about 30 mph because his feet were dragging and picking up dust,” said witness, Brian O’Connell.

“Then [the cop] let go and did four or five barrel roles,” he said.

The cop, whose name wasn’t released, suffered minor injuries and was taken to New York Hospital, cops said.

The driver was still being sought.
