发帖数: 8175 | 1 NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New Jersey man was arrested on Tuesday and charged
for his role in a high-speed chase along a Manhattan highway that ended when
a motorcycle gang dragged a New York man from his vehicle and beat him
while his wife and baby looked on, police said.
Christopher Cruz, 28, of Passaic, New Jersey, was charged with reckless
endangerment, reckless driving, menacing and endangering the welfare of a
child, said Sergeant Lee Jones of the New York City Police Department.
"The investigation is continuing with regards to other participants in this
assault," Jones said.
Cruz was arrested early Tuesday after he was asked to come to the NYPD's
33rd Precinct, Jones said.
The chase and subsequent attack on Sunday were captured by a video camera
attached to the helmet of one of the motorcyclists and posted online on
Monday.
The video appears to show an accident involving the victim's sport utility
vehicle and one of dozens of motorcycles being driven north on the Henry
Hudson Parkway in upper Manhattan.
The video showed the group of bikers suddenly slowing and stopping en masse,
bringing northbound traffic to a halt.
The SUV, a dark-colored Range Rover, suddenly accelerated, rolling over
several motorcycles and knocking at least one rider to the ground.
The video then showed dozens of motorcyclists giving chase and catching the
driver in traffic in upper Manhattan's Washington Heights.
The driver was dragged from the SUV and beaten, according Police
Commissioner Ray Kelly.
"He's taken out of the car," Kelly told reporters. "He's assaulted."
The victim, identified only as a resident of New York City, was treated for
facial lacerations and chest wounds at New York-Presbyterian Hospital,
according to a police source.
A police source said authorities believed the motorcyclists who chased the
SUV were part of a large group that had planned an unauthorized gathering in
New York on Sunday. This was similar to an event last year, when the riders
organized online and gathered in large groups in Times Square without
permission, the source said.
This year, the police source said, authorities set up a series of
checkpoints at bridges and tunnels to prevent the motorcycle group from
gathering in large numbers in the city.

This totally disgust me. They ride in packs so think they are tough. These
pieces of #$%$ were all over the road in the first place. I can't stand
those a-holes when they're on the road. There are some that obey the law,
but many and I say many, do not and they weave in and out of lanes in
between cars. If they have lanes for buses, they should have lanes for these
creeps. This group was totally out of control and on a hunt for blood. I
wish Bernie Goetz was there to blow their m#$%$ heads off. This is where the
driver needed to have a gun for self-defense. I wonder if the wife honked
the horn to draw attention. Those riders need to have their balls tied with
twine and stuck up their #$%$

I saw the video and the one motorcyclists intentionally put himself in front
of the SUV and then came to a halt, causing the SUV to bump him. Apparently
taking umbrage, the other cyclists surround the SUV. The SUV basically hit
the gas to get away from them. If it were me in that situation, I'd do the
same thing, calling 911 the whole time!

The moral of the story is that you probably shouldn’t stand in front of an
SUV while your buddies attack a man and his family that are trapped inside
of that SUV. You might get run over and paralyzed. | w***t
