Armstrong and his partner were placing a pedicab driver&#8217;s belongings into the trunk following the driver&#8217;s arrest due to the absence of seatbelts in his cab. During the process, the trunk lid closed on Armstrong&#8217;s right hand, trapping his finger. After calling for help, a civilian approached, accessed Armstrong&#8217;s keys, and after initially opening the hood by mistake, successfully opened the trunk with assistance from three other individuals, as directed by Armstrong to the release mechanism &#8220;on the wheel.&#8221; The ordeal, which lasted about three minutes, was captured on video and thankfully, Armstrong did not sustain serious injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/life\/a\/gavin-evans\/group-of-people-help-nypd-cop-who-got-finger-stuck-in-trunk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.complex.com\/life\/a\/gavin-evans\/group-of-people-help-nypd-cop-who-got-finger-stuck-in-trunk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An NYPD officer, Brett Armstrong, found himself in a peculiar situation when his middle finger got stuck in the trunk of his police vehicle in Lower Manhattan on a Sunday afternoon.
