The man’s Range Rover was surrounded by several bikers on the West Side Highway on Sunday. One biker apparently cut the driver off and slammed on the brakes just before the SUV bumped his rear tire. But when the driver stopped, several bikers began to damage his SUV. Cops are investigating.
A pack of bikers pummeled a driver in upper Manhattan on Sunday, after a wild chase that began with a fender bender on the West Side Highway, cops said.
The brawl erupted after the victim — who was driving his wife and their young child — became surrounded by a swarm of motorcycles on the highway and accidentally hit one of the bikes near W. 125th St. about 2 p.m., police said.

Didn’t think I was defending them, and I may have come across that event last year.
Was walking on 125th in Harlem and they were crossing from the north, completely disregarding traffic lights, pedestrians, etc., while they just poured down as a mob, light cycle after light cycle. A huge noise and, though really out of place anywhere, especially offensive in a crowded city.
All that speeding around and not a cop in sight.
Funny you psoted that pic. Upon watching the video, Madmax was the first thing that came into my head.
Not necessarily pejorative. Each alert I get from the North Texas Patriot Guard Riders for has mention that 'cagers' are welcome (they often are used as support vehicles for big rides.) The term is merely descriptive as far as I'm concerned.
There’s at least one group of unruly bikers around. They do bike tricks in the intersections and stop the traffic. Of course I don’t know the details of this group in the article.
Hmmm, could be!
looks like 100’s of bikers, all over the road, not going the appropriate speed and one “stops” in front of the auto. What do you do?
“What do you do?”
I guess I’ll have to modify one of my driving tips to my wife and kids. “What do you do when there is an animal in the middle of the road? Aim for the animal!” (Of course, this animal just happened to be riding a motorcyle.) I wonder if anyone had done a study of mob violence as it relates to history/economics/government/etc. Similarities could be made I would think between the French Revolution, Nazi Germany, and America today. And many, many others.
BS. The bikers are the ones who broke the law, and its behavior like that which justifies people having a bad attitude about bikers.
The driver of the suv caused the collision when he rear ended the motorcycle.
The driver of the suv then ran over a motorcycle.
The driver of this suv is an extremely dangerous person.
The driver of the suv is a total AH who should feel fortunate he didn’t have the life stomped out of him.
My heart went out to George Zimmerman because of his youth, with so much life yet to be lived. I’m not so young as George, and the tipping will come when these thug wannabees try this with someone like me. If there are enough of them and enough don’t care to die in their empty signifyin’, then they may get me or Holder’s racist department may, but there will be many who will not be able to ever do it to anyone else. Sometimes, some just need killin’
See #90....The driver of the suv was 100 percent at fault here and should be arrested on hit and run charges
Instead of being civil after rear ending and nearly killing the MC rider, he decided to be the tough guy, by running over a motorcycle and fleeing the scene.
The reason he fled was he likly mouthed off to already pissed off MC rider who he just rear ended...
The suv guy was too stupid to be civil after clearly causing the collision and thought he just leave behind a whole bunch of bikers...of course that would never happen...The suv driver is way stupid and is very fortunate to survive their justified anger.
You don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.
The motorcyclist pulled in front of the SUV and stopped, with nothing in front of him causing him to stop. He instigated the collision. YOU try that with me and they will bury you. Got it?
That was my thought too...amazing how altercations like this never happen in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Texas.
we can see what they look like and yet the description is just a man about 30’s.
Hardly going to get much help from that description and it seems NY is even more PC than I thought.
You might want to watch the video.
No the MC did not stop, he was still moving. Clearly just prior to this suv guy did not like having 100 bikes passing him him so he decided to be an AH and get close and create a real danger for those on bikes...
Ya need to understand, just because someone stops or slows in front of you, DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO RUN INTO THEM..
You best understand the rules of the road before ya get behind the wheel.
Oh no? So you’re contending what? That the bikers who broke a laundry list of laws here were in the right?
Lol. What video did you watch? As a former rider, I saw this entirely differently.
Biker caused this with his brake check. Video also demonstrated that bikers were stalking suv before accident. Suv even stopped after accident, only to have rider attempt to drag him out of the vehicle. He was justified in fleeing for safety.
