Police got a tip from a Brooklyn cab driver that the MS-13 gang may be planning an attack on the NYPD. The driver's friend allegedly over heard gang member talk about a murder contract on police in the back seat of a cab, mentioning how he would kill an officer in every command. NYPD spokesman Sgt. Kevin Hayes told the Daily News, "At this time, there's nothing to indicate there's a city-wide threat," but cops are taking the tip seriously and trying to gather intel.
