An ex-con on parole is being sought by the NYPD for allegedly leading cops on a wild chase — jumping the curb and plowing through an outdoor dining shed — to avoid a traffic stop in Midtown, The Post has learned.
Police believe the driver in the chaotic getaway — parts of which were captured on bystander video — is Benjamin Abrams, 56, a career criminal with five prison stints under his belt, according to police sources and Department of Corrections records.
Abrams apparently left his North Carolina driver’s license behind when the mayhem started just after 5 p.m. Wednesday on East 30th Street between Madison and Park avenues, the sources said.
Shocking video showed a black Cadillac sedan back up, nearly striking an NYPD officer on the street as cops yelled commands.
Two officers had to dive out of the way to avoid being hit, footage shows.
The car then jumped the curb and smashed through the outdoor dining structure, sending debris flying on the sidewalk and street.
