Police released audio tapes of two 911 calls made shortly after a 78-year-old man was struck by a car and then left in a Hartford, Connecticut, street by passing motorists and pedestrians.
The tapes were released two days after police Chief Daryl Roberts publicized a surveillance video of a car striking Angel Arce Torres and leaving him paralyzed in the busy street.
The video showed cars zooming past and bystanders staring at Torres from the sidewalk.
No one in the video stepped forward to help Torres, prompting Roberts to declare, "We no longer have a moral compass." Watch the impact and idle bystanders »

The video shows two cars veer across the center line and one of the cars striking Torres. Both cars then dart down a side street.
