The two publicly available videos showing the altercation between a group of motorcyclists and the driver of an SUV in Washington Heights last month have both omitted the actual assault. The first video ends just when a motorcyclist bashes in the driver's side window, and a second video starts just after the bikers finish kicking driver Alexian Lien into a bloody pulp in the street. Now, however, ABC 7 has obtained disturbing video of the assault from another witness:
ABC 7 reports that police have seen the video. Nine people have been arrested so far, including one off-duty undercover police officer who's been charged with gang assault for his role in the September 29th assault. When he's not riding motorcycles or infiltrating Occupy Wall Street, Wojciech Braszczok enjoys taking photos of semi-naked women and his rad haircut.
