Church-Going Good Samaritan Stepped In to Protect Family Where NYPD Coppers Failed To Go

NyPo reports:

The man who cops say launched last week’s vicious biker-gang beatdown of a West Side motorist was ordered held on $100,000 bond or $75,000 cash after his arraignment Sunday in the caught-on-camera incident.

Reginald Chance, 37, of Brooklyn — who sources say has a rap sheet with 21 prior arrests — is allegedly the violent “motor-psycho” who used his chrome helmet to smash open a window of victim Alexian Lien’s Range Rover on Sept. 29.

Lien, an Internet exec from Lower Manhattan, was then dragged from the SUV and stomped in front of his horrified wife and 2-year-old daughter.

Biker Reginald Chance flips the double bird in court as he listens to the charges.

Chance spent Saturday in lineups at the 33rd Precinct in Washington Heights before being charged with first-degree gang assault, assault and criminal mischief.

As many as six bikers preyed on Lien, kicking him in the head even as he tried to crawl to safety, according to prosecutors.
Meanwhile, a church-going Good Samaritan who intervened in the attack said Sunday that he “felt intense danger” as he protected Lien from the mob of motorcyclists.
Sergio Consuegra said he was on his way to prayer services when he saw Lien’s SUV stop on 178th Street, where a bunch of bikers began pounding on it, with one of them trying to grab Lien’s wife, Rosalyn Ng.

“She was kind of making some sounds,” he told reporters during a press conference with elected officials at the scene of the attack.

“I saw a baby inside; she had the baby in her arms, I guess she was protecting the baby from all the glass that was flying inside and outside.”

Consuegra said bystanders started screaming for the woman and baby to be left alone, and the biker let go, after which Consuegra stepped in between the victim and the bikers.

“There was more coming, and they feel like they wanted to keep hurting the man — and I felt intense danger at that moment, at that time, and I say to myself, ‘Let me not show these people that I’m here to engage in any kind of confrontation but that I’m here to protect the man and the family, so I’m going to keep it cool.’ That’s what I was thinking,” Consuegra said.

He added: “I made a simple step that day, a simple gesture. … I must say today, to send a message to all that whenever they see a family in crisis, no matter the circumstances, when they cry for help, be there for them.”

NyPo also reports that at least two NYPD police are part of the motorcycle gang and were present at the time of the attack, but they did not attempt to stop the beatdown:

The motorcycle-loving undercover — whose work is being described as dangerous and “deep undercover” — had joined last Sunday’s 300-rider rally, and admits watching and doing nothing as Lien was attacked in front of his wife and 2-year-old daughter near 178th Street.

The undercover has had his badge and gun yanked and remains under departmental investigation after only coming forward as a witness on Wednesday night.

A second cop was along for the ride, multiple sources have said, and is also under departmental investigation after coming forward only days after the incident.

Again as a concealed weapons carrier of over 20 years these individuals families would be preparing funerals for these punks I can guarantee it.
