The NYPD told CBS2 they aware of the video posted to social media last week and they've launched an internal review.
The video shows a police car swerving multiple times toward someone riding what appears to be a moped. The NYPD vehicle also drives in two lanes at once alongside the moped.
The NYPD vehicle did not have lights or sirens on.
