He watched as the driver methodically aimed and fired across the lane at two officers in a squad car on the other side of the road. Kaoud said he jumped out of his cab and ran across the street. He asked the officers what he could do. One of them, Andrew Tachias, told him to radio for help. Kaoud pressed the button on the officers’ car radio, and Tachias — shot eight times — said “officer down.” When backup arrived, Kaoud — a Palestinian raised in Dubai who had recently become an American citizen — says he raised his hands in the air. Officers have said that, without his help, officer Tachias may not have made it.
