Stunning surveillance footage captured the moment a wheelchair-bound woman was run over and pinned by a school bus full of kids in Brooklyn on Thursday morning.
The unidentified 63-year-old victim was rolling across the interaction of Parkville Avenue and Seton Place in the borough’s Kensington neighborhood at about 8:20 a.m. when the bus stuck her, the NYPD said.
In the video, the school bus came to a full stop at the crosswalk, its yellow strobe lights blinking as it drove.
The woman — who was stopped in front of a pickup truck parked along the curb — waited just as the bus waited.
But she began moving across the road at the same second the bus started moving again — and that’s when the bus rolled into her, knocked her over and pinned her underneath.
Bystanders ran from the sidewalk to help, the video showed, and several people kneeled down to check on the injured woman in a desperate attempt to free her.
Eventually, FDNY firefighters showed up, and managed to pry the woman free, place her on a gurney and wheel her away.
EMS brought her to Maimonides Medical Center in stable condition, cops said.
They have not filed any charges, and the investigation is ongoing.
