The sale of motorcycles becomes violent; Severely injured thief attempt

LAKE RONKONKOMA, NY – Three people were taken to hospital after a motorcycle sale in a Long Island parking lot turned violent Friday afternoon.

After listing a motorcycle online, the vendors, a father and son, agreed to meet with a buyer in the Lake Shore Plaza parking lot at the corner of Portion and Cenacle Roads in Lake Ronkonkoma to close the sale around 3:30 p.m. ., Suffolk Police said.

The buyer did not pay, but instead assaulted the father and attempted to leave with the motorcycle, police said. The son then hit the buyer with something.
