Motorcyclist who smashed woman's windshield and assaulted her near City Hall sentenced to 1 to 4 years in prison

The motorcyclist who stomped on a woman's rear windshield and pointed a gun at her near City Hall last October was sentenced to 1 to 4 years in state prison.

Cody Heron, 27, of Frankford, pleaded guilty in February to charges of aggravated assault and weapons offenses stemming from the Oct. 1 encounter, which was captured on a video that went viral on social media.

Heron was part of a group of bikers and ATVs who filled South Penn Square as cars idled at a red light around 8:45 p.m. watch Heron jumps onto the rear windshield of a stopped car until the window shatters onto the back seat, where two children were sitting. As Heron gets out of the car, a gun falls to the ground from his waistband.

The video then shows the driver of the car, Nikki Bullock, getting out and confronting Heron. Heron briefly points his gun at Bullock then headbutts him with his helmet. Bullock can be seen pushing Heron off his motorcycle after he got back on to leave the scene. At the end of the video, Bullock walks away from his car, carrying one of his two children.

When the video circulated online and gained national attention, investigators said Heron changed his social media accounts and posted photos of himself using a different name to confuse police . He was arrested three days after the attack.

Police said the gathering of bikers and ATVs was an unauthorized encounter. The department has stepped up a crackdown on illegal vehicles that have become commonplace on city streets during the warmer months.

In addition to his prison sentence, Heron was sentenced to five years of probation following his release.
