NEW YORK (AP) — Shaky camera footage depicts the gory scene: A driver who police say was frightened when a group of motorcyclists swarmed his Range Rover plowed through them, striking a rider in a purple T-shirt and black helmet.

The biker, Edwin Mieses Jr., suffered broken legs and spine injuries, his wife, Dayana Mieses, said Tuesday outside a hospital.

"There's no hope for his back," Dayana Meises told reporters. "They crushed his spine. They broke it in two different places, so he will be forever, forever paralyzed."

Another man also was injured. Bikers chased after the SUV, then beat the driver, police said. A portion of the Sunday altercation, captured on a helmet-mounted camera worn by another rider, was posted online anonymously. Since then, Dayana Mieses said, the bikers have been portrayed as villains who ambushed an innocent man driving his family. But she said her husband is the victim.

"Everyone wants to blame the bikers for something this man did," she said.

Edwin Mieses, known as Jay Meezee, is an aspiring rapper from outside Boston, and the couple has two children, ages 15 and 9. Dayana Mieses told Boston station WBZ-TV that her husband got off his bike to help another rider who was struck in an initial collision with the SUV.

"When all the bikers stopped, my husband got out, parked his bike to walk over to try to help his friend," she said. "He walked over towards the front of the vehicle when, at this point, I don't know what happened: the man was scared, the man just peeled off and ran over my husband."

When this story first broke yesterday it was made to look like the bikers were the victims. Now it appears that the bikers were the instigators in it. One of the paralyzed bikers is from Mass, his Mother was on the local news last night crying for justice for her son. It looks like her son is the one who started the whole altercation. He was the one who got in front of the SUV and slowed down until the SUV hit him. NYC police said that numerous arrests were made and many motorcycles were confiscated throughout the day yesterday from this group.

Bunch of p*ssies too to go after the driver of the SUV in his car with his wife and infant new born.

Pulling a brake job with a motorcycle in front of an SUV is intelligence at it's finest.

And they were all riding rice.

Just another stand your ground situation. He feared for his life and you saw what happened a few minutes later. The child was in the back seat and the back window was smashed out, Glass all over the place. Should attempted murder charges be in order?

The bikers were taking part in a ride loosely organized by a group called Hollywood Stuntz. Police arrested 15 bikers Sunday for incidents unrelated to the mob attack. “We had over 200 calls just on Sunday about this particular group operating in a reckless manner,” Kelly said.

Of the "interesting" facts that may come from this story, the opinion of an emotionally involved family member (esp one who wasn't a witness) is far at the bottom of them. Yawn...
