An off-duty officer got in an argument with another driver in Cypress Hills. Both men stopped their vehicles at a red light on Bradford Street. According to the NYPD, that's when the driver of a 2016 Kia EX exited his vehicle -- with a 5-month-old inside -- and punched the officer's head through an open driver's side window. Police said the beating continued despite the officer identifying himself as a member of the NYPD. He then pulled out his gun and shot and killed the driver.
