Robert Sims, the biker who allegedly grabbed the SUV door during Sunday’s biker attack in New York City, was arrested on Friday.
Sims, 35, grabbed the door of the vehicle at around 4:50 into the video, reported ABC-7. The video, now viral, was captured via the helmet camera of another biker.
Another man, Reggie Chance, is wanted for questioning and is expected to turn himself in soon. The New York Daily News reported that he has a lawyer.
“This is a complex investigation with a lot of people involved,” law enforcement source told ABC.
Police are looking for around six other bikers who may have taken part in the chase and assault that left Alexian Lien beaten. Lien apparently hit the tire of a biker who cut him off in Upper Manhattan, sparking other bikers to attack his vehicle.
As he tried to escape, Lien’s SUV ran over another biker, Edwin Mieses, who is said to be in critical condition.
On Friday, Mieses’ wife Dayana Mejia held a press conference.
“It tears me up that anyone could think that Edwin in any way deserves what happened to him,” Mejia said.
Lien’s wife, Rosalyn Ng, released a statement about the matter on Thursday.
“Our sympathies go out to the injured motorcyclist and his family. However, we were faced with a life-threatening situation, and my husband was forced under the circumstances to take the actions that he did in order to protect the lives of our entire family,” Ng wrote.
