This superhero should consider investing in a mask.
The NYPD chief who went viral for rushing into action to take down two alleged ISIS-inspired botched bombers outside Grace Mansion doesn’t want his newfound fame.
Assistant Chief Aaron Edwards became the talk of the town this week after he was snapped hurdling a barricade and pouncing on the alleged teen terrorist who had just launched a homemade explosive device at his fellow officers’ feet.
“First off, I’m happy that I cleared that barrier. Imagine if I fell!” Edwards, 46, joked during a press conference Wednesday.
“I don’t want that picture to be about me. I want it to be about the day. I wanted to be about what we did. I want that picture to be a reminder to New Yorkers that you know your cops — the members of NYPD — we’re going to be relentless in pursuing justice,” he continued.
“There’s gonna be no obstacles. Nothing’s gonna stand in our way from protecting New Yorkers.”
