NEW YORK (WABC) -- A motorcyclist has been arraigned on charges of reckless driving after prosecutors said he touched off a tense encounter with the driver of an SUV and a throng of other bikers that ended in a violent confrontation in Manhattan.

Christopher Cruz, 28, of Passaic, N.J., was also charged with unlawful imprisonment. His bail was set at $1,500 cash. His attorney, H. Benjamin Perez, said his client denied all the allegations.

"He will come back to fight this case and clear his name," he said.

A second suspect, Allen Edwards, 42, of Jamaica, Queens, surrendered to police at the 33rd Precinct Tuesday night. It is believed he is the man who punched the rear window of the SUV with his fists at the end of the video.
