Alexian Lien, the man who was dragged from his SUV and beaten by a gang of motorcyclists in Manhattan last year, has filed a formal notice of claim against the city of New York, saying he intends to sue. The claim accuses the NYPD of failing to properly train officers. An off-duty police detective was among the bikers who chased Lien and his family in the SUV down the West Side Highway. A spokeswoman for New York City’s legal department said it would defend if the claim came to a full suit.
