Father with family in SUV chased, beaten by speed-demon bikers. Police are looking for more suspects after a group of bikers chased and beat the driver of a SUV off in New York. Police have made one arrest and are looking for more suspects after video showed a group of bikers chasing down and attacking the driver of a Range Rover in New York. The driver, 33, was in his car with his wife and toddler when there was a collision Sunday afternoon. After the attack, he needed stitches to his face. His wife and child were unhurt. The footage was captured by a rider's helmet camera. Bikers terrorize family in high-speed chase Shocking bikers rage. New York City police continue to hunt for as many as 30 motorcyclists who forced a driver on a harrowing high-speed chase through Upper Manhattan and then beat him in front of his wife and 2-year-old daughter. The six-minute pursuit on Sunday — which was captured on video and posted on YouTube — began when the driver of a black Range Rover called 911 to report erratic bikers taking part in an unauthorized rally dubbed Hollywood Stuntz, police told NBC New York. New York police commissioner Ray Kelly says the department is investigating whether a motorcycle group attacked an SUV driver who broke the leg of a cyclist. The video shows the motorcycles converged on the 33-year-old man's vehicle on the West Side Highway in Harlem, and he apparently clipped a bike that cut closely in front of him. The motorcycle rider suffered a broken leg, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said. Some of the other bikers then surrounded the SUV. "They take their helmets and start to dent his car, and apparently his tires are slashed there with a knife," Kelly said. The video, shot with a helmet-mounted camera, shows the driver then took off, knocking down more bikes as others tore up the highway after him. During a 50-block chase, the bikers managed to trap the Range Rover again, and one of them got off and pulled open the driver's side door before the motorist swerved and sped away. After his tires finally went flat on a side street, the group blocked him in again. One biker was seen yanking off his helmet and using it to smash in the SUV window. Police said the man suffered black eyes and other injuries in the subsequent beating. After receiving some stitches, he was released from Columbia University Medical Center. No arrests have been made, but police are examining surveillance video from a nearby gas station where some of the motorcyclists stopped. Kelly said the bikers did not have a permit for the rally and the NYPD only learned of the show-boating event — in its second year — through social media. He said police had fanned out around Manhattan to watch for trouble, arresting 15 bikers and confiscating 55 motorcycles unrelated to the attack on the Range Rover. Vengeful motorcyclists' harrowing chase caught on tape A group of around 30 motorcyclists chased a man driving a Range Rover through upper Manhattan and beat him up in front of his wife and two-year-old daughter. In this video taken by one of the motorcyclists, you can see them swarm his car, reportedly after the driver clipped one of the bikes. New York City police say at least two riders then used their helmets to dent the car and slashed the tires with a knife. The driver took off, running over a couple other bikes. What followed was a six-minute high-speed chase, ending on a side street where the Range Rover's tires went flat. The video ends with one of the riders bashing in the car's driver's side window with his helmet. Though it's not shown in the video, police say the riders beat the man, leaving him with black eyes among other injuries. They're currently looking for the riders, who were reportedly taking part in an unofficial rally known as Hollywood Stuntz.
