Cops who found themselves on the losing end of a fight with a mob of armed thugs in front of a Staten Island home were rescued yesterday � by firefighters shooting a water cannon.
�The crowd start[ed] to jump and start beating up on the cops,�� one stunned Fire Department source told The Post.
That�s when a firetruck from Engine Co. 158 down the street from the Mariners Harbor home arrived, the source said.
Then one firefighter �got up on the deck gun, and he aimed at people�s legs and just nailed them with water and drove them back,�� the source said.
�The cops were very appreciative.�
Three cops suffered minor injuries in the melee on Harbor Road at about 3:30 p.m.

Way to go FDNY! This method should be used more often to stop mob criminal actions.
Who says there is no inter agency cooperation? 🙂
Should have aimed higher to teach them a painful lesson!
