It comes after the NYPD’s Chief Intelligence Officer, in a letter to the Metropolitan Police in December last year, discussed their findings following a review of the car chase.

The chief intelligence officer’s letter states: “We found the following: reckless breaching of vehicle and road traffic laws and persistent dangerous and unacceptable behavior on the part of the paparazzi during the night in question.

“Individuals operated vehicles, scooters and bicycles in a manner that forced the security team, which included a New York Lead Car, to take evasive action on several occasions and a circuitous route to avoid being hit by pursuit vehicles or entrapment in side blocks. “

It further says, “Our conclusion, after review with the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, is that we have sufficient evidence to arrest two individuals for reckless endangerment.”
