The NYPD is asking for help in identifying four men involved in the Sept. 29 pursuit and beating of SUV driver Alexian Lien. Craig Wright, one of the riders who attacked lien, was arraigned and charged Tuesday with assault, while a police source said a video contradicted an undercover cop’s claim that he was not involved in the damage done to Lien’s vehicle.

The NYPD is looking for four bikers involved in the Sept. 29 chase and beating of Alexian Lien. Above are two of the men believed to have been involved.

The NYPD released photos of three new suspects wanted in a Manhattan motorcycle mob’s brutal attack on a dad taking a Sunday drive with his wife and baby daughter.
The quartet of wanted men were all wearing biker gear and sporting motorcycle helmets in the photos made public Tuesday afternoon.
None of the fugitive suspects were identified and police asked for the public’s help in putting names to the faces.
Police released new photos of bikers who were involved in the beating of an SUV driver on Sept. 29, including the man seen in the above shots.

The shots from the Sept. 29 attack were released shortly after one of the four suspects already in custody appeared in a Manhattan courtroom for a bail hearing.
Craig Wright, 29, was ordered held Tuesday on $150,000 bond or $100,000 cash bail.
Photos of another suspect sought by the NYPD.

Wright “is the one on the video stomping the (victim) at least three times, as well as (throwing) the original punch,” said Assistant District Attorney Samantha Turino.

Wright reached through the shattered driver’s side window of Alexian Lien’s SUV and landed the first blow before the driver was yanked onto the street and attacked, she said.

A pack of bikers pummeled the vehicle of Alexian Lien on Sept. 29 after a traffic altercation escalated into a high-speed chase around Manhattan.


The victim’s wife and 2-year-old daughter watched in horror as a day that started as a wedding anniversary celebration ended in terror.
Defense attorney Mitchell Elman entered a not guilty plea on his client’s behalf and noted that Wright had no criminal record.

Craig Wright appears at his arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday. He is one of the motorcyclists who allegedly attacked a family in their SUV in Manhattan last week.


The suspect “lost his job in the last year and has been looking for gainful employment,” Elman said. “As you can see, he’s absolutely no flight risk.”
Wright’s driving record was less sparkling, with arrests for reckless driving in 2005 and driving without a license in 2011.
Wright is one of four motorcyclists charged in the assault on Lien, who was driving with his family when he bumped a motorcyclist on the Henry Hudson Parkway.

Alexian Lien, who was pulled from his Range Rover and beaten by angry motorcyclists, is seen on the ground before police arrived.

The fender bender set the chase and assault in motion. Cops were still seeking four other suspects.
One of the police officers linked to the crazed ride and assault was exposed as a liar by damning new video, a police source said.

Police came to the aid of Alexian Lien, whose wife and daughter can be seen through the frame of the window.


While the cop claimed the beatdown was breaking up when he reached the scene, the seconds-long video clip caught him joining the bikers who surrounded the Manhattan family in their SUV.

“It shows him punching the back window, and then as the camera is moving, it catches him maybe throwing a kick at the side of the car,” the source said.
“Once the beating starts you can see him hop on the bike and take off,” the source said. “So he's not involved in the assault, but he lied. He wasn't truthful.”
The unidentified undercover told police brass that Good Samaritans were helping the Range Rover’s driver and witnesses were calling police when he reached the scene at W. 178th St., sources said.

The detective claimed he drove away without taking any action to keep from blowing his cover, sources said.

Biker Gang Attacks, Cries When Victim Fights Back

Posted on October 3, 2013 by Tad Cronn

When Alexian Lien of Manhattan, his wife and child went out in their family SUV, they didn't expect to soon be fleeing for their lives.
In the early afternoon Sunday, near W. 125th St. in Harlem, the Liens were suddenly surrounded by a pack of bikers, a gang known to police as the Hollywood Stuntz.

The result of the encounter was Lien and one of the bikers in intensive care after Lien was dragged from his car and beaten to a bloody pulp in front of his family.

According to the bikers, the confrontation began when Lien ran into one of their group and drove off. Christopher Cruz, 28, of Passaic, N.J., who is out on bail, has been identified as the biker who "brake-checked" Lien's SUV, starting the whole incident. Cruz maintains he was trying to get Lien to let his entire group of motorcyclists pass.

It's been suggested that the gang may have been attempting to mug the family with a classic "crash for cash" scam and the plan went awry.
According to witnesses,Cruz deliberately pulled in front of the Liens' SUV as it was moving and slammed on his brakes. A YouTube video made by one of the bikers shows the gang forcing Lien to pull over and approaching the SUV. But then Lien is seen accelerating and running over at least one motorcyclist as the other bikers take off in pursuit. According to police, Lien stepped on the gas when he was surrounded by the gang, who started hitting his car and apparently slashing his tires.

Biker Edwin Mieses is in the hospital, paralyzed and in a coma. Family and friends have gone public with accusations against Lien and calls that he be made to "pay." They have started a Facebook page to drum up support for the biker.

The motorcycle gang, which has a record of crimes and public misconduct, according to the NYPD, chased Lien and his family for several miles until he was forced to pull over because of the damage to his tires.

The hoodlums then smashed the driver's side window, pulled Lien from the truck and beat him severely.

Police are working to identify all the motorcyclists from security videos, but many of the bikes are stolen or have had their license plates changed.
Online sympathy is favoring Lien, who was doing what was necessary to protect his family. Several people have suggested he should have run over more of the bikers, and after watching the video, it's easy to see how that sentiment has come about.

This is a perfect example of why honest citizens need to be able to carry guns on their person and in their cars.
If Lien had a gun, things could have turned out much differently. If our government encouraged law-abiding residents to carry weapons, gangs of thugs would not be freely roaming city streets.

But this was New York, home of some of the most restrictive gun laws anywhere. That means the criminals have free reign and citizens get to flee in terror.

The police have said they won't charge Lien. Unless some new information comes up, it appears Lien was not just well within his rights but was RIGHT to run over that biker and defend his family.

As John Locke said, "[It is] reasonable and just I should have a right to destroy that which threatens me with destruction; for by the fundamental law of Nature, man being to be preserved as much as possible, when all cannot be preserved, the safety of the innocent is to be preferred, and one may destroy a man who makes war upon him, or has discovered an enmity to his being, for the same reason that he may kill a wolf or a lion, because they are not under the ties of the common law of reason, have no other rule but that of force and violence, and so may be treated as a beast of prey, those dangerous and noxious creatures that will be sure to destroy him whenever he falls into their power."

We need a return to our country's founding principles so that families like the Leins don't have to live in fear.
