NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) - Police have arrested one of the bikers involved in the initial incident that lead to the vicious attack of a man driving his family in Manhattan, the NYPD said. Meantime, some people are saying the driver is not the victim because one of the bikers he ran over is in a coma.

Video posted to YouTube from the helmet camera worn by a motorcyclist shows a pack of bikers attacking the driver of an SUV following a fender bender on the West Side Highway on Sunday afternoon.

Christopher Cruz, 28, was charged with reckless endangerment, reckless driving, endangering the welfare of a child and menacing. He was not injured in the accident.

The driver of the black Range Rover -- Alexian Lien, 33 -- was with his wife and young child inside when he struck a motorcycle that was in front of his car, police said. In the video, Lien is seen stopping the SUV and then speeding away and striking three motorcycles when the group began to damage his SUV.

It isn’t a simple matter of disagreement. You are wrong here. Did you watch the video?

These gang-bangers on motorcycles started it.

When the guy tried to open the door of the vehicle while the family inside, that gang forfeited any expectation of forbearance.

In my mind that guy had every right to sideswipe, run over and intentionally crash his vehicle into every motorcycle pursuing him.

Give up on Bunnyslippers. He’s just rage trolling now because he got caught commenting without reading the article or watching the video.

Just give him a little leeway as he’ll come around and figure it’s better to be right than to continue to be wrong.

Our keyboard warriors are suddenly all so sensitive about these menacing motorcyclists! That SUV driver had a baby in the car - of course he panicked! He didn’t have a gun but he had a powerful engine which did as good a job as possible.

Who wants to bet this never would have happened in a pro-2A state?

Admin Mod, sorry, I forgot please change my answer to say they were upset that the guy had a Range Rover and they didn’t.

Is there any way to edit your own answers once posted?

If you have no other alternative, you run over people if your life is in danger.

If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, you will understand that concept in a New York minute.

Because right now, you are utterly clueless.

If the SUV driver had been in procession of a 9mm automatic in addition to the 4 speed automatic in the vehicle the bikers may have all been in a comma

Might be pretty crowded in a comma.

Weirdo motorcyclists have been menacing West Side drivers for a long time now. Every day, my husband takes that road and I pray he survives these maniacs. Clueless, is right!

Had there been a large truck in front of them he could have shoved them up a semi-colon. ;^)

watch the video.

you can see the biker saying something to the driver then he zipped in front of the SUV and hit his brakes, looking back as he did. he knew he was too close and would cause a problem. once the episode started, the driver was in panic mode trying to get away and keep his family safe

if you watched you’d see the bikers were all over the road. 2-4 in a lane zipping between lanes. all behavior that is dangerous and increases the risk of incident.

Amish in packs and on bikes. they were looking to cause a problem

Hey Jay Mazee, there is a lesson to be learned here: Don’t bring a motorcycle to a car fight. LOL!

The country is rapidly devolving to a Road Warrior - Mad Max scenario.

That's actually -- and unfortunately -- a pretty apt analogy.

The SUV guy was following too close.

How could he keep from it?! He was surrounded by bikers and the guy pulled in front of him and slowed down.

someone at work told me they read that these “bikers” were driving crazy all around town.
as a former HD rider, you dont pull in front of a vehicle then BRAKE.
Thats a death wish.
looked to me like the SUV driver was in the right and I rarely side with the car drivers.

I too am a rider. What I witnessed on the video were a bunch of punks. The stuff they were doing was just begging for someone getting run over.

I hate riding in cities to begin with. Next time I go through a city, most people will think I am one of THOSE lunatics.

I bet the bikers were all “Justice for Trayvon!” types. Ones who supported the crack-addled black attacker in Florida.

Based on what?
