Eyewitness News has learned that among the bikers on the Henry Hudson last weekend, were five off-duty NYPD officers.
Sources say at least two detectives witnessed the attack on Alexian Lien and did not directly intervene. And investigators are still working to determine what role, if any, was played by the other three officers.
What is clear, sources say, is that the men did not begin to come forward until late Wednesday, four full-days after the incident.
And detectives are also investigating reports that several others in the group may have been off-duty New York City correction officers.
An undercover detective has informed Internal Affairs that he was present at the time of the confrontation.
The undercover narcotics detective, himself a motorcycle rider, was off duty. Official sources say he did not get involved because he did not want to blow his cover. Internal Affairs is now investigating. The undercover detective is being advised by an attorney.

To protect and swerve.....into traffic. (Sorry, best I could do I short notice. LOL)

This is very sad. The Police used to be respected and admired. These days many do not hold them in high esteem.
Go Seahawks!
Help me understand: One was an undercover narcotics officer AND he (and all the others) were off duty. So if one is not undercover @ the time, how would it have been blowing cover?
Sounds like either they were afraid of getting in trouble for participating in the event in the 1st place, or they were too afraid to intervene. Their lack of action allowed the situation to escalate, and people were hurt badly. Fire them.
Amazing that this post, which clearly shows law enforcement at its worst has drawn two pages of comments yet a post that asks if you should carry your weapon with a round in the chamber has 26 pages of comments. Looks like we have a "law enforcement can do no wrong" crowd on our hands.
