Looks like that undercover cop who was riding dirty with the now infamous biker crew in NYC isn’t so undercover anymore.

Detective Wojcuecg Braszczok was charged with riot and criminal mischief for his role in the NYC motorcycle/Range Rover chase that left the driver badly beaten and another biker paralyzed.

The 32-year-old Braszczok spent much of his police career in narcotics, but recently transferred to another division.

According to NBC:

Braszczok was already under scrutiny for not immediately reporting the assault to Internal Affairs and not being immediately entirely forthcoming when he did. But investigators say the determining factor in moving forward with charges was newly acquired video that showed he vandalized the victim’s SUV by breaking the rear hatchback window, an act that contradicted his prior accounts in which he claimed he drove away without taking any action to avoid blowing his cover.

Investigators believe that while Braszczok was one of three officers on the ride in the general area of the attack, he was the closest to the beating and the only one to have a clear view of what was happening. They believe another detective was further away from the attack and a third, an officer, was “in the way back” of the motorcycle pack.

The two other officers are being probed, but they are not expected to face charges.

Another civilian biker was arrested yesterday as well.

Clint Caldwell of Brooklyn was arrested for gang assault, assault and criminal mischief for beating the driver, Alexian Lien, during the attack.

But don’t try to find Caldwell on the now viral video bashing in the windows.

Caldwell was not caught on the six-minute video that was posted on YouTube. Caldwell allegedly helped pull Lien out of the SUV and then assaulted him.

This investigation continues.
