Spin Rage

We've all heard of road rage, but "spin rage" you may not be aware of. One man says he was injured when someone in his spinning class lost control and went on the attack.

"If I was a lighter guy, I could have been killed over something like this," victim Stuart Sugarman said.

Added Dr. David Matusz of Lenox Hill Hospital: "It's pretty serious. At this point, he has weakness and loss of sensation in his arm."

According to Matusz, the victim also suffered a concussion and had surgery on his neck. Determined to make sure no one else endures his pain, Sugarman hired an attorney, who calls his client a victim of "spin rage."

There's music and excitement at a routine spin class, but Sugarman says on the night of Aug. 15, his workout spun out of control.

"This fella came in and sat down and he didn't like the fact that there was a lot of excitement going on and for whatever reason, he targeted me," Sugarman said. "Taking the bike and myself and hitting me so hard into the sheetrock wall that we crashed to the wall."
