In Episode 378 — Volume 54 of The E-Men: Inside The NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit, retired Lieutenant Glenn Daley shares a harrowing story from his early days on patrol — a fight with a suspect high on PCP that nearly turned deadly.
What started as a simple stop outside a gyro shop spiraled into chaos when the man, handcuffed in front and out of his mind on angel dust, lunged over a seat in the police van and grabbed Daley’s gun. With the van swerving through Midtown traffic, he and his partner fought desperately to keep control of the weapon — a struggle that ended only after a brutal fight to survive.
Daley’s chilling recollection captures the unpredictability of policing in New York City during one of its wildest eras — when every call could turn into a life-and-death fight in an instant.
