Undercover cop among the bikers in SUV confrontation, source says
Eyewitness News
NEW YORK (WABC) -- An undercover detective has informed Internal Affairs that he was present at the time of the confrontation between bikers and the driver of a SUV last weekend, sources tell Eyewitness News.
The undercover narcotics detective, himself a motorcycle rider, was off duty. Official sources say he did not get involved because he did not want to blow his cover. Internal Affairs is now investigating. The undercover detective is being advised by an attorney.
The 38 year old Brooklyn man wanted for questioning is expected to eventually turn himself in. Detectives still believe he used his silver helmet to smash the driver's side window of the victim's SUV. However, his role in the actual assault of the driver is unclear.
Detectives are also looking at about a half dozen other bikers who may have had a role in the assault of the driver. Some have already been interviewed by investigators after being identified by video and photographs that have been coming in. Investigators are interviewing as many motorcyclists as possible to determine their roles before filing charges.
