THANKS A PILLION

Bike gang ride to rescue of bullied autistic lad, 12

A GANG of bikers wearing skull masks came to the rescue of a bullied disabled boy.

Autistic Alex Lacki, 12, has suffered years of abuse from fellow pupils and had to move school several times.

So his dad Daniel came up with a plan to defy his tormentors.

On Alex’s birthday, Daniel, 37, and his tough-looking biker pals lined up outside Elm Court School in Brixton, south London, to give the schoolboy a ride home.

And the plan worked – the bullying has now stopped.

Daniel said: “We’ve had to keep changing schools because of the bullying.

“At his current school, things were going OK at first, but eventually other kids started to pick on him.

“Kids were calling him ‘w **** r’ and saying ‘your Mum’s a b **** ’.

“He was crying every day before school, we were completely powerless.”

Daniel said he was “speechless” with the support from his fellow petrolhead­s.

He said: “Alex is now doing much better and he said it was the best birthday he ever had.”

In a heartwarmi­ng video taken by Alex’s mum Martha, Daniel and seven of his mates are seen waiting for the youngster. As Alex walks out of school, his dad starts clapping. The lad then dons a helmet and jumps on the back of his dad’s bike as his fellow students crowd round.

Inner City Riderz Facebook group uploaded the video with the caption: “We hope this little act will help Alex with the bullies!” Another post said: “Awwww he looked so chuffed bless him! Nicely executed and very well done to all involved. Hope this sorts the bullies out!” The Star Says: Page 6
