Cop rescues small black and white kitten in Brooklyn: video

BROOKLYN, N.Y. (PIX11) — An NYPD officer rescued a kitten stuck behind a car’s wheel in Brooklyn on Thursday.

A video posted to X shows the officer, dressed in blue pants and a crisp white NYPD shirt, lying on the ground. He reaches his arm under the car, behind the wheel, and pulls out a small black-and-white kitten.

“Oh my God,” a lady says as the officer hands the small ball of fur to an unidentified person.

“Lt. Johnston has 31 years with the NYPD and 17 years in the 83rd [Precinct,]” the NYPD posted on X. “Today, he was caught in action helping this kitten. You can catch him covering Day Tour Patrol. And if you do, say hello!”

The NYPD did not respond to PIX11’s request for additional information about the incident.
