11 Bikers Indicted -- Including Undercover NYPD Detective -- for the Videotaped Chasing, Beating of SUV Driver That Went Viral

A grand jury indicted 11 bikers, including an off-duty undercover New York City police detective, over the headline-grabbing, helmet-cam videotaped clash with an SUV driver, CNN reported.

NYPD detective Wojceich Braszczok was formally charged with gang assault, criminal mischief, riot and more in the 14-count indictment Friday in connection with the September 29  road-rage melee between a large group of bikers and SUV driver Alexian Lien, CNN added.

TheBlaze has reported extensively on the incident, during which Lien's SUV bumped a motorcycle that had slowed in front of it during a biker rally on a biker rally on a New York City highway. Fellow bikers surrounded and converged on Lien, who was with his wife and two-year-old daughter. Lien fled, running over a biker who was left paralyzed.

Motorcyclists chased Lien’s SUV, trapped it on a Manhattan street, smashed the vehicle's windows, pulled him from the seat, and attacked him. Lien was treated and released from a hospital and has not been charged.

Prosecutors say Braszczok is on video allegedly using his fist to bash in the rear window of Lien's SUV and kick it, CNN added.
