ANOTHER INCIDENT ALONG UPPER WEST SIDE’S WEST SIDE HIGHWAY CONFIRMS A DISTURBANCE IN THE FORCE

The motorcyclists came together gradually last Sunday morning, their ranks growing into the hundreds as they moved through Brooklyn and Queens, alerted by friends, social media posts and text messages to join an annual ride.

About the same time, financial district resident Alexian Lien, a 33-year-old vice president at Credit Suisse, and his wife, Rosalyn Ng, placed their young daughter into her car seat in a black Range Rover. They headed north on a trip to celebrate their two-year wedding anniversary.

The bikers and the family clashed on the Henry Hudson Parkway on Manhattan’s west side, in a confrontation seen around the world in a video taken by one of the bikers wearing a helmet camera. Mr. Lien’s wife said her family feared for their lives. Some bikers present said they converged on Mr. Lien’s SUV as a defensive maneuver because they say he was weaving from side to side.
