According to the Internal Affairs Dept of the NYPD it's being reported now that an undercover, plainclothes cop was a witness to the attack on the street. (There's a fair amount of street drug dealing up there in that part of Manhattan).
I heard this too. He said he allowed the attack on the motorist to continue because he didn't want to blow his cover. Well, the cover is gone now, so I hope he can fully implicate everyone involved.
