Harlem Dirt-Bike Riders Beat, Rob Family In Broad Daylight: Video

HARLEM, NY — A squad of dirt-bike riders followed and attacked a driver and his son at a Harlem intersection after the man collided with one of them at a nearby street, according to police.

The broad-daylight assault unfolded around 4:25 p.m. Tuesday at the intersection of St. Nicholas Terrace and West 127th Street.

Minutes prior, the 64-year-old driver had hit a member of the group when the biker sped through a red light at a nearby intersection. The crew ultimately caught up with the driver a couple of blocks later on West 127th Street.

There, the group surrounded the sedan, opened the doors, and pulled the driver and his 36-year-old son out of the car, according to surveillance video released by police.

Video 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. A relative of the older man told the New York Post that he was recovering from the attack, but "Mentally, he is not OK."

Police asked anyone with information to call the NYPD Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). People can also submit tips online or on Twitter, @NYPDTips.
