[quote]The New York City Police Department said a man driving a Range Rover with his wife and 2-year-old daughter inside Sunday struck a motorcyclist on Manhattan's West Side Highway, breaking his leg.
"It was an accident," says Lt. Karen Anderson.
The SUV driver pulled over, and the bikers surrounded his vehicle, hitting it and spiking the tires, police said. The driver pulled away, hitting three more bikers in the process, police said.
The gang, called "Hollywood Stuntz," according to police, chased the man, and he was forced to stop because of flat tires.
The SUV driver was cornered and beaten, according to police. He was later treated at a local hospital for slashes to his face and released. His wife and child were not injured.
One biker who was struck by the SUV, 28-year-old Christopher Cruz, was arrested and faces several charges, including reckless endangerment, reckless driving and endangering the welfare of a child, police said.[/quote]
Thoughts? Do you think (given the video) that it was an accident? Do you think the driver is at all at fault? What kind of charges should be brought up? Is it fair that the original "victim" is in custody now?

I pictured guys similar to an actual motorbike gang, not a bunch of guys in their 20's on crotch rockets. They may be fast, but nothing is scarier than a bunch of middle aged men that are pissed off riding Harley's and carrying baseball bats. SAMCRO might have ruined my idea of a real biker gang, but some can be close when it comes to violence.
