An undercover detective and motorcycle crew charged with viciously attacking a Range Rover driver after he plowed into a biker on the West Side Highway are apparently heading toward a trial.
The defendants — including city Detective Wojciech Braszczok — have so far rejected plea offers from prosecutors in the gang assault case, sources said. All but one of the defendants face up to 25 years behind bars.
Braszczok and the others appeared in Manhattan Supreme Court on Friday when the judge alluded to planning for trial.
The next hearing is on Sept. 29 — exactly one year after Alexian Lien was horrifically beaten in front of his terrified wife and 2-year-old daughter, in an attack that was caught on video.
“From there we should be able to set a trial date,” Justice Maxwell Wiley told both prosecutors and the defendants.
