The city has agreed to a $2 million settlement in the wrongful death lawsuit of a Brooklyn man who was mowed down by an NYPD radio car chasing him for stealing rocks, the Daily News has learned.

It has been more than two years since Tamon Robinson was fatally struck in April 2012 outside the Bayview Houses in Canarsie and the incident is still under investigation by the Brooklyn district attorney’s office.

“Mr. Robinson’s family does not want this to end here,” said lawyer Scott Rynecki of the law firm Rubenstein & Rynecki. “More important to this family than the settlement is to see these police officers held criminally accountable.”
