1 Arrested In Harlem Dirt-Bike Attack On Father, Son: Police

HARLEM, NY — Weeks after a squad of dirt-bike riders followed and attacked a father and son in Harlem, one of the alleged participants has been arrested, according to police.

Kureem Nelson, a 35-year-old Harlem resident, faces charges including robbery and gang assault in connection with the March 15 attack at the intersection of St. Nicholas Terrace and West 127th Street.

According to police, the confrontation began when a 64-year-old man hit a member of the dirt-bike group with his car, after the biker sped through a red light at a nearby intersection.

A few blocks later, the crew caught up with the driver on West 127th Street. Video released by police shows the group surrounding the sedan, opening the doors, and pulling the driver and his 36-year-old son out of the car.

The footage shows the group repeatedly kicking and punching the victims as they lie on the street — all in plain view of passersby, who proceed along the sidewalk while glancing toward the in-progress attack.

As many as six dirt-bike riders appeared at the scene before ultimately speeding off, the video shows. They made off with a cell phone, wallet and cash from the two men, police said.

Both victims were taken to Mt. Sinai St. Luke's Hospital in stable condition, police said — though relatives told the New York Post that the victims were struggling to recover mentally.
