NEW YORK — Detective Wojciech Braszczok, 32, was arrested more than a week after bikers pursued an SUV, driven by a man traveling with his wife and 2-year-old daughter. Riders smashed the vehicle’s windows, hauled the driver out and beat him in front of his family.  

Video of the September 29 confrontation was uploaded to YouTube and went viral. The incident began with a fender bender between the Range Rover SUV and one of the motorcyclists traveling north on Manhattan’s Henry Hudson Parkway.

It escalated when the SUV, which was surrounded by the bikers, accelerated through the crowd, injuring one rider and sending motorcycles flying.

Along with four other motorcyclists, Braszczok was charged on Tuesday with riot and criminal mischief, the New York City Police Department said. Local News 4 New York reported that Braszczok was off duty at the time of the incident and had surrendered to police with his attorney.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office previously declined to comment on questions about whether the SUV driver could be charged for running over one of the bikers.
