A judge increased the bond of the biker who authorities say was caught on camera damaging a Black woman’s car earlier this month.
NBC Philadelphia reported that Cody Heron’s bond was raised to $4 million on Monday. The 26-year-old was identified as the person who smashed the vehicle Nikki Bullock was driving near City Hall after 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 1. Bullock’s girlfriend and her children were inside the car while she was completing an Uber Eats order.
An eyewitness-recorded video shows a biker standing on top of the car and smashing the back of the glass before hopping off. When Bullock got out of the vehicle, it appeared that the man waved his gun, head-butted her while wearing a helmet, and shoved her. After getting on his bike, Bullock pushed him off. He fled soon after.
