An undercover New York City police detective accused of taking part in a motorcyclists-versus-driver melee is scheduled for trial.
Detective Wojciech Braszczok faces top-level assault charges in the September attack on an SUV driver. He was off-duty.
A judge, not a jury, will determine whether he is guilty or innocent. Judge Maxwell Wiley will begin hearing the case on Monday.
Eleven men were indicted in the Sept. 29 attack on a Manhattan highway. The driver was beaten and received stitches. He wasn’t charged.
At least three have pleaded guilty, and others are headed for trial.
Braszczok’s lawyers have declined to comment. He is going to trial with another suspect, Robert Sims.
