An off-duty, NYPD undercover officer was among the pack of motorcyclists who chased a Financial District family up the West Side Highway — and he stood by as the dad was hauled from his car and beaten, The Post has learned. The unidentified officer only came forward Wednesday night, four days after the caught-on-video biker predation, and is described as a motorcycle hobbyist who rides with Front Line Soldiers, a New Rochelle-based group that also counts several other cops among its members, a source said.

Thank goodness that cop made it home safely. Phew!
OMG....may he suffer NIGHTMARES for his COWARDICE!!! Is he Black ALSO??? I want to KNOW!!!!
Hopefully he’s white, so you can rest easy. /s
He was scanning the area for dogs?
He should be removed from duty...without pay.
Well I hope he is at least called to testify against the bikers.
I still think if the driver of the SUV had a 9mm Sig Saur this would have ended better.
I lived in NYC 3 years and couldn’t wait to leave that place. I try not to even transit through the airports there.
If he stood by, he should be fired for cowardice.
That’s from another cop.
Then he can go work “selflessly for no pay” at the Capitol.
Article says he was undercover. I wonder if he was undercover (since it says he wasn’t investigating the bikers) or plain clothes. There is a difference.

A limitless off topic, but down here in Texas if someone tried to pull you out of your car, they better had their last will and testament ready.
Little off topic, stupid autocorrect
You don't need to reveal your identity to break up a murder attempt.
Just goes to show that it is better to have an undercover pistol than an undercover cop.
I wish I had a degree in rocket science so I could interpret that /sarc
If it says undercover, that’s what it means.
There have been many unfortunate occasions when undercover cops have not blown cover in time, and I guess this was one of them. They don’t want to reveal themselves - or they’re scared of being beaten to death - but whatever it is, I think NYPD should rethink the model.
Looks like the scumbag has lawyered up big time.
Officially undercover? Or Covering his ass undercover?
YOUR CAR IS A WEAPON, USE IT!!
And I AM a biker, a for real one. Not a crotch rocket punk trying to intimidate everyone on the road. I have been driven off the road, rear ended, side swiped and left hand turned. I know ALL the frustrations of riding amongst stupid cagers.
THIS WAS NOT anything like that. This was bunch of pukes out to intimidate John Q. Public and thinking it a game.
OHH BOO EFFIN HOOO, PLAYED THE GAME, GOT HURT!
Hope the biker who got run over recovers. OTH, I DON’T FEEL ONE BIT SORRY FOR THE SUKA.
On two wheels, it really is STUPID to play chicken with an SUV.
Especially an SUV with a FAMILY MAN with his WIFE AND CHILD in the car!
OTH, had Lien had a FIREARM, all this would have a dramatically different ending.
The only other question I have here, what was the ethnicity of the group, in general? Therein lies the real story.
Didn’t he work in the Reagan administration?
