Bikers, ATV riders surround lone cop
The NYPD wants to find the bikers and ATV riders who are seen in video circling an officer at a Bronx gas station in a western movie-style standoff.
On Sunday at about 4 p.m., the officer was attempting to safeguard an abandoned dirt bike at the gas station at 1360 Bruckner Boulevard when he was circled.
The dirt bike is seen in the nearly two-minute clip resting on the ground of the gas station in Hunts Point next to the cop's car.
Four uniformed officers are seen running towards the lone officer.
A man tries to get on the bike but runs off as the officer realizes what's happening and darts toward him.
The bikers eventually ride off.
No one was injured.
