‘Biker cop’ Wojciech Braszczok was found guilty of second-degree assault, coercion and riot on Tuesday for the September 2013 attack against Alexian Lien in front of his family in NYC.
An undercover New York Police Department detective was acquitted on Tuesday of the most serious charges but convicted of lesser crimes for his role in a highway melee in which motorcyclists pulled an SUV driver out his window and pummeled him in front of his wife and toddler.
‘Biker cop’ Wojciech Braszczok and his co-defendant, Robert Sims, had said they believed the driver was fleeing the scene of a crime because he had just struck a biker amid the September 2013 rally.
But a judge, not a jury, found them not guilty of the top charges of gang assault and first-degree assault but guilty of crimes including second-degree assault, coercion and riot.
