NYPD: Biker Arrested, Another Surrenders In Attack On SUV Driver
Wife Of Biker Says SUV Driver Ran Over, Paralyzed Husband

Biker Christopher Cruz, 28, has been charged with reckless endangerment, reckless driving, endangering the welfare of a child and menacing, police said. He was awaiting arraignment on Tuesday.

The second man who turned himself in to police was suspected of punching out the windshield of the Range Rover. He had not been charged as of late Tuesday afternoon.

Police said they were looking to make more arrests as they sort through the chaos, which was all captured on video.

Meanwhile, biker Edwin Mieses, an aspiring rapper from outside Boston, was in a medically-induced coma Tuesday with crushed legs and serious internal injuries as a result of being run over by the SUV.

“There’s no hope for his back. They crushed his spine — broke it in two different places — so he will be forever, forever paralyzed,” said his wife, Dayana Mejia-Meises.

He was hurt in the road rage incident Sunday afternoon as hundreds of stunt bikers led an unauthorized rally.

Mejia-Mieses said her husband got off his bike to help a biker who was hit in the initial collision.

“When all the bikers stopped, my husband got out, parked his bike to walk over to try to help his friend. He walked over towards the front of the vehicle when, at this point, I don’t know what happened the man was scared, the man just peeled off and ran over my husband,” she told WBZ-TV.

Mieses said her husband has injuries to his heart, lungs and ribs and that he is paralyzed from the waist down. The couple has two children, ages 15 and 9.
