NEW YORK (77WABC) — Video released by the NYPD shows a gang of dirt bikers brutally beating a 64-year-old driver and his son after allegedly hitting a member of their crew in Harlem.
Police say at least three bikers and one ATV rider took part in the attack – ripping the victims from the car to beat and rob them near West 127th Street by St. Nicholas Terrace. The surveillance footage shows the bikers tossing the driver to the street before repeatedly kicking him. At one point, two other suspects run to the scene and appear to join in on the attack.
Sources say the attackers stole a cellphone, credit and debit cards, driver’s licenses and about $150 before fleeing the area. Sources say after the crash, the driver fled the scene on West 127th Street, until the crew cut him off two blocks later at St. Nicholas Terrace.
Police say both victims suffered minor injuries and were taken to St. Luke’s Hospital in stable condition. Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website or on Twitter @NYPDTips.
