A kitten was rescued by NYPD officers Tuesday after a driver realized it was stuck under the car on a busy Brooklyn highway.
The driver saw the kitten running across the Jackie Robinson Parkway just before noon, and stopped to look for it, according to the NYPD. The kitty was nowhere to be found.
Moments later, the driver heard the cat underneath the car. The driver called the police department, and officers responded to the scene.
Nearly a half-dozen uniformed officers got on their stomachs to crawl underneath the white SUV to retrieve the cat, as seen in a photo tweeted by the NYPD's 32nd precinct.
