The city will pay $2 million to the family of a Bronx man who was fatally struck by a police cruiser in 2012 after being chased for allegedly stealing some paving stones.

The collection agency has vowed that they won't collect the money from the mother of a Bronx man who was fatally struck by a police car, and the city has apologized as well.

"We’re still grieving, and this is like a slap in the face," mother Laverne Dobbinson said. "They want my son to pay for damage to the vehicle that killed him. It’s crazy."

"I don’t know how we go from someone being chased by the police to someone being run over and killed,” said the attorney of the deceased man's family.
