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
The driver was driving northbound on the West Side Highway when he was surrounded by the bikers.
But when the driver stopped, several of the bikers began to damage the man’s black Range Rover — so he hit the gas and plowed through three motorcycles before speeding away, cops said.
The driver was with his wife and their young child when they became trapped in a swarm of bikers along the West Side Highway on Sunday.
Miraculously no one was hurt during the getaway, but the angry bikers began to speed down the thoroughfare to catch up with the SUV.
A video taken from a camera mounted on a motorcyclist’s helmet shows the frightful chase along the highway after the accident — which apparently happened after a biker slammed the brakes after cutting the SUV off.
A motorcycle appears to hit the brakes before he was struck by the SUV.
At one point, the motorcycles surround the SUV and a biker runs over to open the door and rip the driver, described only as a man in his 30s, out — but the man manages to drive away before the biker can get him and knocks down at least one more bike
The man behind the wheel — who was driving his wife and their young child - feared for his safety and fled the group when they began to damage his SUV.
The chase continues up I-95, where the driver gets off on W. 176th St. But when he is forced to stop at a red light on W. 178th St. near Wadsworth Ave., the bikers attack.
One biker takes off his helmet, which he uses to smash through the driver’s side window. Another man tries to punch through a window to the backseat, where the child was sitting
The driver plowed through at least three bikes to get away — but no one was hurt, police said.
The shocking footage, which was posted on YouTube, stops — but police said the bikers beat the driver up and slashed his face
The driver of the SUV was the only injury reported, cops say.
He was taken to Columbia University Medical Center, where he received stitches for the face wound and was released.
No other injuries were reported
The driver initially stopped, but fled after the group of bikers began to damage his vehicle.
No arrests were immediately made, but police said they were still investigating the incident
The bikers sped through upper Manhattan to catch up with the driver, who struck a motorcycle on the West Side Highway.
It was not clear how much damage was caused to the SUV.
Several commenters wrote that the driver was justified to flee
