Police dashcam footage shows firefighters trying to break a window with tools and a cop rushing to the vehicle with his Taser drawn.

Seeing the officer pointing the device at him, the driver gunned the car, but went nowhere because firefighters had placed heavy-duty fire apparatus wheel chocks to keep him in place.

Santa Fe police thanked the firefighters for their help following the response, crediting them with possibly preventing injuries or death.
