If ya read the details and watch the video, the swarm of squids surrounded the Range Rover and one of them hit the brakes from right in front of the vehicle and although the RR braked, it hit the bike. The bikers then started attacking the RR. Bloke drove off when they started swarming the vehicle, which exacerbated the situation. The swarm appears to have instigated/provoked the altercation when they surrounded the vehicle and one of them braked hard and suddenly after pulling in directly in front of the vehicle, which did stop. Seems like the squid/swarm was spoiling for an altercation, as the incident appears to have been deliberately caused by the biker, whereupon more of them surrounded the vehicle and started damaging it. The group had already been terrorising motorists and people on the side walk in the previous couple of days. Blocking traffic to do stunts, driving the wrong way down roads and riding on the side walks. (and we sometimes wonder why cagers show aggressive tendencies towards us!) Driver probably shouldn't have driven off, but under the circumstances, probably felt it was the best alternative when surrounded by what looked like approaching 100 squids intent on harm to him, his wife and his child. One of the bikers used his helmet to break the window where the child was seated and another apparently tried to punch through that window at the child. Things just escalated from there. Bad scene all the way round. Just one of the reasons I NEVER participate in large group rides. Too many immature loonies out there who may be emboldened by the numbers around them.

His initial excuse for that behaviour was that he was "deep undercover" and had to play the role to protect his identity. His bosses initially defended him, but when they saw the video, charges quickly appeared.
Biker who cut off and brake checked the vehicle has also been charged. There may/should be more. . . .
