A frightening video shows the moment police shattered the windows of an SUV to check whether a one-time NFL star inside still was alive.

Former Cowboys and Raiders running back Darren McFadden was arrested for DUI in January 2019, after police found the 32-year-old asleep at the wheel at a Whataburger drive-thru in Texas.

“Is he alive?” one officer frantically asked the two others, according to police video recently obtained by TMZ.

McFadden then pushed the gas pedal, causing the three officers to panic.

The officers rocked the car back and forth, in an effort to stop it from moving, and then used a flashlight to break into the vehicle and get ahold of McFadden.

McFadden seemed confused and then appeared to try and break free from the cops, who eventually took out their guns and tasers and watched him surrender.

McFadden also was charged with resisting arrest. He was sentenced to four days in jail.

McFadden last appeared in an NFL game with the Cowboys in 2017. He spent 10 seasons in the league after being taken by the Raiders with the No. 4 pick in the NFL draft, and rushed for 5,421 yards and 28 touchdowns.
