Manhattan Car Chase Ends in Savage Crash, Armed Cash Grab: Police

There were no injuries reported by police

A bizarre car chase almost hard to believe — expect the whole thing was caught on camera — culminated in an armed robbery on the Upper East Side that earned thieves a hefty payday Saturday afternoon.

The chaos shocked bystanders near East 92nd Street and 2nd Avenue around 5 p.m. when a black Mercedes-Benz came charging down the road after the driver of a silver Toyota Rav-4, police said.

Witness video shows the Mercedes catch up to the Toyota, crashing into the car and causing it to spin out. The Mercedes driver then steps on the gas and pushes the other car up onto the sidewalk.

The Toyota driver is able to accelerate and get back onto the roadway, but is chased down a second time by the Mercedes driver who rams into the car, sending it spinning out once again, the video shows.

1. The Mercedes driver got out of the car and pointed a gun at the Toyota driver. He, in turn, handed..

..the gunman a brown paper bag that he had in his car, which had the $$ in it.

Police believe that they knew each other, which makes sense, else how would the gunman know about the moola.

2. In the days of my 'ute, this would'a been the theme of a cowboy movie about the James

Bros. robbing a stage coach, carrying the miners' pay.

3. Then ya wonder if the Merk was also stolen.
