Shocking bodycam footage worn by Phoenix police officers shows the dramatic rescue of a man who was trapped inside a car that ended up submerged in a pool last month. Witnesses called the Phoenix Police Department after seeing a man drive into the deep end of a residential pool just after 2 a.m. on Halloween.

Bodycam footage released by the Phoenix Police Department has shown the dramatic moment an officer smashed the sunroof of a submerged vehicle to rescue a man trapped inside. The US man told officers that he "accidentally stepped on the gas too hard" before driving the vehicle into a pool.
