Auckland police use axe to save trapped driver from sinking car at Ōkahu Bay

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.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-17T07:35:25.000Z

bet he was texting and driving. classic

Phoenix Reid2026-06-17T08:08:25.000Z

but still, he's lucky to be alive. that's what matters

Quinn Murphy2026-06-17T07:49:25.000Z

Why was the car going into the bay anyway? Is there a boat ramp? Someone's insurance is gonna love this...

Quinn Murphy2026-06-17T08:29:25.000Z

no boat ramp there. just a beach. driver musta taken a wrong turn or something

Chloe Martin2026-06-17T07:58:25.000Z

sounds like a shit way to spend a monday afternoon

tbh I'm more surprised Auckland police actually did something useful for once

Phoenix Reid2026-06-17T08:20:25.000Z

Thank goodness those officers acted fast. Could have been a tragedy. Hope the driver is okay 🙏

Mason Young2026-06-17T08:42:25.000Z

haha true. rare W for auckland police

Aria Wilson2026-06-17T08:29:25.000Z

Do they just keep an axe in the patrol car for this stuff? That's actually pretty clever

Ella Thompson2026-06-17T08:37:25.000Z

meanwhile tamaki drive is always a nightmare. wonder if this caused more traffic

Cameron Diaz2026-06-17T08:49:25.000Z

lol get a life. someone almost died and you're worried about traffic

Casey Adams2026-06-17T08:47:25.000Z

axe to save a car? yeah nah that's a load of crap. they could've just waited for a tow truck. overkill.

Blake Turner2026-06-17T09:11:25.000Z

mate read the article again. he was trapped, car was sinking. what's a tow truck gonna do underwater?
