motorcyclists attack motorist and family

An undercover police detective arrested in a motorcyclist-SUV melee no longer plans to testify before a grand jury, his lawyer said Monday.

It's a dramatic case built on amateur video that went viral -- footage of motorcycles swarming around an SUV on a highway, the driver plowing over a biker to escape and a high-speed chase that ends with the driver pulled out and beaten in front of his family.

An undercover police detective accused of punching out an SUV window during a motorcycle rally that descended into violence was unmasked Wednesday in a courtroom where he was confronted with serious assault charges.

The motorcyclist who took video of a group of motorcyclists says SUV driver Alexian Lien threw a water bottle at the cyclists before he started recording.

An undercover detective attending at a motorcycle rally that devolved into broken bones and blood did not witness a biker get struck by an SUV or see the SUV driver subsequently attacked by bikers, a lawyer said Monday.

A motorcyclist accused of smashing a window and catalyzing a bloody encounter between a group of bikers and an SUV driver was arraigned Sunday on gang assault and other major charges, which his lawyer said were overblown.

The NYPD honored a man who stepped up and intervened in the beating of the driver of the Range Rover who was chased on the Henry Hudson Parkway last Sunday.

Two more motorcyclists have been taken into police custody in connection with the videotaped beating of a New York City man by a gang of angry bikers which contained several NYPD undercover detectives.

There's a new form of motorcycle gang popping up across the nation. It's one that can gather at the drop of a social media post; it's one that isn't focused sharply on violence; it's one that hopes to garner fame over the Internet.

In a week that saw outrage over the swarm of bikers surrounding and eventually beating the driver of an SUV, there is now another video that demonstrates the mob mentality of these kinds of jerks.
