911 Calls Portray Frantic Situation
On Thursday night CBS 2 learned more about a series of frantic 911 calls made from inside of the SUV.
The first came from driver Alexian Lien as the vehicle was surrounded by motorcyclists on the Henry Hudson Parkway.
The next three calls were from his wife who was in the car along with the couple’s 2-year-old daughter.
She can be heard describing a desperate situation as the incident played out.
We are “being surrounded”, “being followed,” she told the operator.
During a final call from 178th Street, she told the dispatcher that the bikers were “attacking the car.”
It took emergency officials seven minutes to respond, their sirens can be heard in the background during the final 911 call.
In addition to 911 calls made by the family on Sunday, there were 200 calls made regarding bikers involved in reckless driving and making noise, CBS 2 reported.
The calls were placed between 11 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Some callers reported that bikers were even riding on the sidewalk.
The NYPD told CBS 2 that aviation helicopters were deployed to identify groups of bikes to police being dispatched on the ground. Officers inspected 300 bikes and made 15 arrests as a result of complaints.
I think that's self defence there.
