Police-car death probe

The NYPD has launched an investigation into the death of the Brooklyn man who was struck by a police car after officers spotted him stealing paving stones, authorities said.

Tamar Robinson, 27, was hit by a marked 69th Precinct car at about 5:30 a.m. on April 12 as he fled from cops at the Bayview Houses in Canarsie.

Robinson, who had been trying to load the paving stones into his SUV, was rushed to Brookdale Hospital with shoulder and head injuries. He died Wednesday.
