While driving into work yesterday The Vestal Police came barreling down behind me. I moved out of the way as fast as I could and watched the cop jump out run over and handcuff a man being held down to the ground by civilians.

I later learned that that man was allegedly physically abusing the woman in the car with him. Other drivers observed him beating her and jumped out to her aid, according to eyewitness accounts.
