Video shows the moment that a woman threw a lit Molotov cocktail into an NYPD car full of cops.
Samantha Shader, 27, of Catskill, New York, appeared to light the makeshift explosive before screening the crowd early Saturday in Crown Heights as protests over the killing of George Floyd winded down.
“What the hell do you got going?” the person behind the camera could be heard saying. “Hey, where is she going?”
Wearing a black T-shirt with a backpack, Shader then walks further into the crowd out of the camera’s frame before returning with the lit explosive.
“Get out of my mother-f–king way,” someone can be heard shouting before she allegedly hurls the device at the marked police vehicle parked at Eastern Parkway and Washington Avenue video shows.
The bottle shattered two of the vehicle’s windows as four cops sat inside — but the gas inside did not ignite because toilet paper was used instead of a rag, a police source said.
Shader was hit with a federal charge of damaging a police vehicle and detained pending an initial court appearance on Monday.
The NYPD initially pressed for attempted-murder charges against her, but federal prosecutors have now taken over the case.
