ROAD RAGE: Range Rover drives over multiple bikers, leading to them following him and assaulting him



[NY POST]  An SUV driver surrounded by a gang of motorcyclists on the West Side Highway Sunday gunned the engine and ran over several bikes before speeding off with the pack in hot pursuit, police sources said Monday. The harrowing chase, which ended with the enraged bikers smashing the SUV driver’s side window open and slashing him on 178th Street in Washington Heights, was captured by a camera attached to a biker’s helmet, producing a video that quickly went viral on YouTube and elsewhere. The driver – an unidentified man in his 30s whose wife and child were also in the vehicle – was rushed to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital for stitches after the attack, police sources said. In the video, several dozen speeding bikers surround a dark-colored Range Rover with New York plates, with one motorcyclist purposely slowing down in front of it and forcing it to stop about 2 p.m. Others quickly park in front of it as one biker dismounts and starts walking toward the vehicle. At that point the driver guns the engine and crashes over several bikes and speeds off. The bikers pursue the man through northern Manhattan and block him again, with one biker yanking open his door. But the driver guns it again and manages to escape after knocking another bike to the ground. The SUV then speeds off the West 178th Street ramp into Washington Heights, where traffic slows the SUV and bikers surround it. One rider removes a helmet and bashes in the driver’s side window, the video shows. The crew then slashed the man in front of his wife and child, sources said. The victim was taken to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, where he received stitches, police said. It was unclear what started the confrontation. No arrests have been made and police are investigating the assault. At least one of the riders’ jacket patches indicate he’s a member of a New Rochelle motorcycle club.

I can't find any reason as to why these bikers were surrounding this dude and his family in his Range Rover, apparently he told police he feared for his family's life inside the car because he was surrounding by a bike gang. 

I'm pretty sure he couldn't have dealt with the situation any worse but I also don't know if there was another reason outside the walls of this video for him running down god knows how many bikers, so I don't know which side to take.
