A group of dirt bikers brutally beat up and robbed an erderly man and his son in Harlem, New York, on Tuesday.
The suspects reportedly stole the victims’ wallets, some cash and cellphones during a broad daylight near the intersection of St. Nicholas Terrace and West 127th Street.
In a surveillance video of the attack, at least four bikers were caught surrounding the 64-year old father and his 36-year old son after a member of the group ran a red light and crashed into the victims’ car.
The two dirt bikers approached the driver, pulled him out of the vehicle and threw him on the ground where one of the members started kicking him while the second suspect later punched him.
According to the unnamed 36-year-old victim, his elderly father suffered a concussion after the attack.
“I’m OK, I’m just really concerned about him, concerned about my father. I want them to find them, and justice. Because it was an accident, all right? What was the point of assaulting an elderly guy? Like 10 people. Anybody’s a man with 10 people.” He stated.

He also recalled the incident and stated that “The dirt bike came on the opposite side of the downtown, driving opposite traffic. We stopped and we see all these motorcycles coming around the car. My father was driving. He got in a panic. He was scared. He drove a little bit, like to the middle of the block. We were stopped by one motorcycle. That’s when all of them came. That’s when the altercation happened. One guy broke my father’s driver window, the door handle. Opened the door, yanked him out of the car and started beating him. I got assaulted as well.”
