NYC Motorcycle Gang Attack: Mexican Biker's Wife Says He Won't Walk Again
The wife of a motorcyclist who was hit by an SUV during a melee involving
20 to 30 bikers said her husband is paralyzed from the waist down and may never walk again. Dayana Mejia told ABC News today that her husband was struck by a Range Rover, setting off a confrontation between the driver and motorcyclists taking part in a group ride in New York City on Sunday. The SUV driver fled the scene of an initial fender bender after feeling intimidated, police said. The group of motorcyclists chased him and then bashed in the windows of the Range Rover, dragged him out into the street, and beat him up while his wife and 2-year-old child watched from the SUV, police said. Two of the motorcyclists involved in the confrontation are in custody, one of whom has been charged, according to New York police officials. Law enforcement sources confirmed the driver of the Range Rover was Alexian Lien. Lien received minor injuries and police are searching for suspects involved in his assault, they said. Mejia's husband, Edwin Mieses, 32, a father of two and an audio engineer, is in critical condition at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital in New York following Sunday's incident. In an emotional interview, Mieses' mother, Yolanda Santiago, told ABC News that Lien should be charged with reckless endangerment. "My son is fighting for his life. The Range Rover plowed right over him,'' Santiago said through tears on the front porch of her Lawrence, Mass., home. "He's never going to be the same Jay he was,'' said Santiago, referring to her son by his nickname. Then she began to weep into her hands. "Why hasn't the driver been charged with reckless endangerment? He endangered his own child." Mieses' wife also expressed anger at Lien. "I blame him. And what I even blame him more for is he's out, he's not even charged, and he's the 'victim,'" Mejia said. "His spine is crushed. All the ribs on this side are broken," she said, motioning to her left side. "He's a survivor but he's paralyzed from the waist down." The confrontation began when the group of motorcyclists, out for an annual ride in Manhattan, surrounded Lien's Range Rover and slowed down. One biker cut off the Range Rover in traffic and then slowed his speed even further, and the Range Rover then bumped into the bike. New York City police said today that the driver of that motorcycle was Christopher Cruz of Passaic, N.J., who was arrested. A second motorcyclist, Allen Edwards, turned himself into police in Queens today for questioning and is in custody, police said. Cruz has been charged with reckless endangerment, acting in manner injurious to a child, menacing and reckless driving, police said. The initial accident caused the bikers to slow down, checking on Cruz and yelling and gesturing at the Range Rover. The driver of the Range Rover then took off from the group at a high speed, barreling through the motorcyclists and hitting three of them, police said. One of the men Lien hit was Mieses, according to his wife. "He should have not run away," said Mejia. "He should have known he wanted to help the person on the floor. By running away, all you're doing is getting them upset like you're trying to flee the scene." "He still has bumper marks on his forehead,'' Mieses' brother Ray Cepeda told ABC News. The rest of the bikers then chased Lien's Range Rover up the West Side Highway and onto the Henry Hudson Parkway, where they bashed his car with their helmets, dragged Lien out of the vehicle and beat him. The man being questioned by police is thought to be responsible for pulling the Range Rover's driver out of the vehicle, cops said. The entire confrontation was captured on a six-minute helmet-cam video taken by one of the bikers and uploaded to the Internet. Police are now combing through the video and witness accounts to find other suspects involved in the attack. The NYPD distributed a still from the video of two suspects wanted in the assault on the driver and said that one bike had a flag sticker of Guyana on the back. The drivers are still being sought. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Monday that the driver would not face charges for hitting bikers, including Mieses, as he fled. http://abcnews.go.com/US/nyc-motorcy...k-bikers-wife- walk/story?id=20430576 |

You forgot the part beforehand about the ****tard squids giving the SUV a brake job after tightly surrounding the vehicle while still moving. He should of hit the accelerator after that, not the brake. Doing so would of done the world a favor. |

After watching the video, it appears the fender bender was simply that a biker *intentionally* stopped in front of the SUV, and immediately one or more bikers dismounted in the middle of the freeway. So, the bikers, *clearly* had ill intentions, as that is an abnormal action (and is probably the reason the police charged him with the extra misdemeanor of something like unlawful detention). Clearly the bikers intended to harm the SUV and its occupants, so, I don't blame the SUV owner for trying to get away. The biker who was run over is just as much at fault as the biker who detained the vehicle. Neither of them should have been in the middle of a busy highway on foot. Serves them right. I only wish more of them would have been killed or injured. They all deserve the darwin award. |

Sources say at least two detectives witnessed the attack on Alexian Lien and did not directly intervene. And investigators are still working to determine what role, if any, was played by the other three officers. What is clear, sources say, is that the men did not begin to come forward until late Wednesday, four full-days after the incident. And detectives are also investigating reports that several others in the group may have been off-duty New York City correction officers. An undercover detective has informed Internal Affairs that he was present at the time of the confrontation. The undercover narcotics detective, himself a motorcycle rider, was off duty. Official sources say he did not get involved because he did not want to blow his cover. Internal Affairs is now investigating. The undercover detective is being advised by an attorney. |

But will Wojciech Braszczok be suspended without pay until the matter is settled, or does his employment contract still say he gets paid until convicted or terminated (the latter being a lengthy process)? <http://www.ibtimes.com/who-wojciech-...-driver-photos. -- T0m $herm@n |
