New NYPD bodycam video shows the moment a fearless pair of cops jumps into the water off the Rockaways – on the tail of an alleged Queens car thief who made the plunge to avoid arrest.   The tense footage shows suspect Matthew Swafford, 24, walking along a dock and plunging into the East Rockaway inlet Thursday afternoon – despite demands from a female officer to “Stop there!”  The determined cop begins removing her gear from her department belt as her male colleague radios for help from the department’s Harbor Unit.   Seconds later, the female officer jumps into the water after Swafford – only for him to flail his arms and push her under the water, according to the footage and a criminal complaint.
