New dash cam video shows a Michigan State Police Trooper attacked following a chase on the freeway.

The incident happened in February off U.S. 31 near the Indiana border.

Trooper Garry Guild was attempting to make a traffic stop, when the motorcycle sped away and led him on a chase.

You can see on the video, the motorcycle rider loses control and when Trooper Guild pulls over, the rider rushes him. 

 

In the moments following, the motorcycle riders brother pulls over on the side of the U.S. 31 from a separate vehicle and also starts attacking Trooper Guild.

A Good Samaritan, Jerry Burnham, and his wife spotted the incident and stopped to help. They were able to assist Trooper Guild and get both men into custody.

The brothers, 19-year-old Travis Wise and 21-year-old Michael Barber are facing a variety of charges.

Trooper Guild is doing much better and he is back on the job and thankful to be alive.
