NEW YORK (WABC) -- Eyewitness News has obtained new video in the motorcyle road rage incident on the West Side Highway.
For the first time, we see the SUV driver, Alexian Lien, on the ground, being kicked while laying in the street.
Meantime, a fourth suspect has been arraigned on multiple charges related to the incident, while details continue to emerge about the actions of the undercover narcotics officer who was riding with the group of bikers.
Sources tell Eyewitness News that the officer is seen on video hitting the rear window once with his fist. That window already had a circular hole in it from something perhaps going through it. He is then seen kicking the passenger door, getting on his bike and riding away.

I am happy they have this second tape because they were saying that the cop could only e fired and no legal action could e taken. With this video DA Vance has to go after the Officer if he wants to be re-elected.

with the Rodney King incident?

(71,265 posts)4. This is a good point but the media here is not letting this go. This story leads almost all the
newscasts. Your feelings are justified but I tend to think the public outcry will be too great.
Of course you maybe right and they don't do a damn thing.

(23,761 posts)5. I hoped you're right
I've just seen too many incidents of police misconduct either be covered up, whitewashed, stonewalled or excused.

likely in 24 hours.
