Rangers honor NYPD officers who led schoolchildren off the streets during U-Haul death brawl

The New York Rangers paid tribute to the NYPD officers who took schoolchildren off the streets of Brooklyn during the deadly U-Haul rampage in Brooklyn earlier this month.

Officers Hector Santini and Frank Ingebretsen were honored for their heroism and donated Rangers T-shirts with their names during Sunday’s game at Madison Square Garden, where the home side beat the Los Angeles Kings 2-5.

The duo raced to roads closed to student play during recess, quickly guiding those in potential danger to get in as Ven Sor, 62, killed one and injured eight others on February 13.

Heartbreaking body camera footage previously released by police shows one of the officers pulling up to a closed road and speeding down the street.

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!” he could be heard screaming as the children ran ahead of him. “Guys, get off the street! Come on, off the street!”

According to NYPD records, Santini joined the police department in 2008 and Ingebretsen in 2011.

Among Sora’s victims was 44-year-old single father Yi Ji Ye, who did not survive the attack. He also injured a pedestrian, a police officer and people on bicycles, mopeds and an electric bike.

A Las Vegas man told police he spotted an “invisible object” heading towards the U-Haul before embarking on a deadly ride that started in Sunset Park and spanned Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights.

Sora was charged with murder and multiple attempted murder in assault.
