Bloody legends. Fair play to those coppers for jumping in with an axe instead of waiting for backup. That's the kinda cops we need more of.
bet he was texting and driving. classic
but still, he's lucky to be alive. that's what matters
Why was the car going into the bay anyway? Is there a boat ramp? Someone's insurance is gonna love this...
no boat ramp there. just a beach. driver musta taken a wrong turn or something
sounds like a shit way to spend a monday afternoon

exactly my thought. coulda been a lot worse
tbh I'm more surprised Auckland police actually did something useful for once
Thank goodness those officers acted fast. Could have been a tragedy. Hope the driver is okay 🙏
haha true. rare W for auckland police
Do they just keep an axe in the patrol car for this stuff? That's actually pretty clever
meanwhile tamaki drive is always a nightmare. wonder if this caused more traffic
lol get a life. someone almost died and you're worried about traffic
axe to save a car? yeah nah that's a load of crap. they could've just waited for a tow truck. overkill.
mate read the article again. he was trapped, car was sinking. what's a tow truck gonna do underwater?
