Emotional testimony from the terrified wife of a Tribeca banker beaten by a pack of wild bikers, including an undercover cop, was backed by graphic video that captured the violent 2013 confrontation.

The video shows enraged riders pulling Alexian Lien from his Range Rover while at a red light in Washington Heights after wild and harrowing chase along the West Side Highway.

Lien is thrown to the pavement, where up to nine people take turns pummeling him with kicks and punches using their helmets.

Rosalyn Ng, Lien’s spouse, became emotional on the witness stand recalling the moment bikers surrounded them, banged on the exterior and began hurling threats — prompting them to drive off and strike one of the riders on Sept. 29, 2013.

VIDEO EMERGES IN BRUTAL BIKER ASSAULT ON SUV DRIVER

“They were saying, ‘I’m gonna get you. I’m gonna f—-ng kill you!'” the weepy witness said. “Like, ‘You’re gonna get it!'”

She also said at the bench trial of “biker cop” Wojciech Braszczok and co-defendant Robert Sims in Manhattan Supreme Court that she saw members of the Hollywood Block Party ride using the handles of knives to bang the windows of their car.

“We were just kind of shocked and terrified and Alex asked me what to do and I just said, ‘Go!'”

Lien hit on the gas and mowed down one of the riders, Edwin Mieses, paralyzing him, and then took off heading north.

The clan of motorcyclists chased Lien up to the West Side Highway to the 178th St. exit and yanked him from the driver’s seat where a handful of them knocked him to the ground and started punching and kicking him.

Ng, a part-time marketing professional who also has a jewelry business, was fighting off members of the gang who tried to drag her out of the car as others assaulted Lien.

She said she kicked, screamed and shouted for sympathy for their 2-year-old daughter, fastened to a car seat in the back of the SUV.

“We have a baby! We have a baby! Help! Help!,” she said, recalling the events.

Sims is accused of taking part in that attack while Braszczok, an undercover NYPD detective, allegedly smashed through the SUV’s rear window.

On Monday, Lien relived the chilling events, which were recorded on cellphones, GoPro video and an iPad.

Ng admitted she chucked a half-eaten plum and a partially-full water bottle out of the car at the bikers, fueling their rage early on in the event.

She said she tried to “shoo them away” in an effort that clearly backfired.

“I was, like, I wasn’t thinking. I just tossed out … the sun roof,” she said.

“I was kind of embarrassed. I could see everyone around us were like laughing at what happened and I just kind of sat back down and we kept going,” she said.

Braszczok’s lawyer, John Arlia, said Monday his client, who was off-duty at the time, had no intent to harm anyone and was not the cause of the broken rear window.

Braszczok and Sims face up to 25 years behind bars if convicted of gang assault or first-degree assault, the top counts.

Nine others have previously pleaded guilty in exchange for no or little jail time in this case.
