Sorry had to make a separate post since the comments are locked. I am pretty sure I witnessed part of this altercation while I was running in Central Park. I’ve added proof from my Strava with the time and I think it lines up.
I’ll start by saying, I only witnessed a few minutes of it and continued on my way so I’m lacking a lot of context and could have easily misread this so take with a grain of salt. But from my brief time seeing this, a man with long black hair was filming the biker above taunting him and asking him repeatedly if he’s going to assault him and wouldn’t get out of his way. From my perspective it seemed like the person with the camera was trying to get the biker to do something on camera while the the guy on the bike was trying to get him to leave him alone (I might be completely wrong ofc).
Considering that the cameraman appeared to be filming the whole thing, I think it’s important they post the video instead of this one photo to share more context of what actually went down. Because from what I saw it’s also possible that the cameraman is the one in the wrong. Just thought id mention what I saw before anyone passes judgement on either side!
So my comment to OP is if you’re the guy with black long hair who was filming, please share the full video. Because something does not add up.
Thank you!
Edit: (in response to the original OP since replies disabled!)
It seems our stories line up so I believe you now! Hope they catch him! Didn’t mean to stress you out with this and sucks to be accused of lying on top of being a victim. Sorry for that but hope you and everyone understands why I had to share my pov and ask for more context!
I think to some, your post kind of read like someone potentially experiencing paranoia. the gang comments I think are referencing a subreddit of people who share a delusion that they are being stalked. Add your comments about running 20 miles a day (not common) and my account of the event to it, made it all reasonable to believe that you might have been making some stuff up.
Thanks for clearing it up and hope the issue gets resolved!
Inb4 anyone who believed the original posts tries to ‘I told you so’. I think doubting vs believing OP were both reasonable takes. I don’t think what ended being the reality takes away from that.
