back with more of today's take. a crazy, horrifying story that took place here in new york over the weekend. the cover of the new york post, motor psychos. a man was out for a drive on sunday with his wife, his 2-year-old child and was chased down by a group of motorcyclists. pulled out of the car. >> they slashed his tire. >> slashed him. he was beaten. this is from a camera mounted on the helmet of a motorcycle rider posted on youtube. two dozen motorcycles surround the range rover. they were in town for the hollywood stunts rally.

a loosely organized event and things got ugly. police say he called 911. he had run over, basically, one of the motorcyclists. >> right. >> as he was trying to drive away to protect his family. of course you do what anyone would do which is get away for the situation. he did drive over a motorcyclist. that motorcyclist has been identified and they have a lot more people they're looking for right now. there's surveillance cameras so you better believe they're going to be on top of this. >> and the event was that he by mistake bumped one of them or they were already surrounding them? >> he was in a pack of them and hit one when trying to get out and he accelerated to get away from them. then they surrounded him. >> you've got your kid in the car. a 2-year-old child. >> i would gun it. >> i would too. >> he guns it right there. >> what's not normal necessarily

or regular is that usually not when you're on the west side highway surrounded by that. >> yeah, so it's a three lane highway and, you know, i've been in those situations and it's nerve racking, you know? >> yeah. tensions are running high. >> and a lot of these guys ride right up on you or cut through the lanes. it's very easy to accidentally bump somebody. >> scary situation we were at a hockey event once and hockey has a reputation, the parents can get a little overheated and my husband just slightly dinged the door of the car next to us the guy proceeded to get out of the car. my three-year-old was strapped in the back and wanted to get in a fistfight with joe and i was like joe just drive and then the guy jumps in front of our car and i'm like just keep driving. we did not run the guy over but it's a scary situation.

>> yeah. >> yeah. >> what must his wife have thought? you don't know what the guy's intentions are. you have a 2-year-old in the backseat. >> just seeing that video makes me panic. >> i would have jumped in the backseat. >> the man in the car got stitches and was released from the hospital. so he's okay. >> yeah. >> so more details on this today. >> let's move on to a little bit happier topic. adele, the great singer, rumored to star in an upcoming bio pick about dusty springfield. film project would tell the story of the celebrated english soul singer inducted into grammy hall of fame. >> she has the hair going. >> son of a preacher man. >> adele can do no wrong. she is going to nail it. she'll be great. >> the bone structure. >> she can sing it. >> dusty had an unbelievable

range. and so does adele and most great singers have an acting in there. >> look at jennifer hudson. >> yes, we were thinking about those that didn't workout so well. >> some recovered we were saying. >> mariah carey. >> i've been in plenty of them. i didn't mean to. >> it's about the role. >> and the film maker and she went on to do precious and the butler. >> how about justin timberlake. >> we just saw runner, runner yesterday. he is a phenomenal actor. >> bet midler. >> madonna. >> madonna was sort of mixed. i liked her. >> i think it's a matter of the character that you're playing. >> how about from justin to kelly. kelly clarkson. now that's a movie.

pretending to propose a few times and i kept dropping these fake engagement rings down sewer grates and it sounds possibly mean or foolish, which i would certainly be accused of being foolish in other ways, but there was a sense of humor about it. she was in on the gag. so she would go along with it and say honey what was that that you just dropped. and i would say nothing, it was a 5 frank piece. and of course once i pulled the joke a few times, then i was on the hook if i didn't propose. then i would have been a jerk. >> well, thank you so much for being with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you for climbing into a canoe. >> climbing in is sort of a relative term. up next, one mother's super power to spread hope to hundreds of tiny heros after these messages. i remember the day my doctor said i had diabetes.
