UPDATE: The “fat-tire biker” who Chris Cuomo said he had a confrontation with, has filed a police report against the CNN host.
The 65-year-old Long Island resident, David said he was out for a bike ride when he spotted Cuomo, his wife, another woman and three kids playing around on a property in East Hampton.
“I just looked and said, ‘Is that Chris Cuomo? Isn’t he supposed to be quarantined?'” David told New York Post.
The CNN host allegedly threatened David: “Who the hell are you?! I can do what I want! I’ll find out who you are… This is not the end of this. You’ll deal with this later. We will meet again ... This is not the end of this. You’ll deal with this later. We will meet again.”
David said he told Cuomo, "Your brother is the coronavirus czar, and you’re not even following his rules — unnecessary travel."

The CNN host in a stunning meltdown on his SiriusXM show Monday, said his battle with wuhanvirus disease has made him rethink his values and question his position as a public figure. The talk show host who is a brother of New York governor Andrew Cuomo, has been in quarantine recuperating from the disease since testing negative for wuhanvirus on March 31.
Referring to his prime time CNN show, he said he no longer wants to be "trafficking in things that I believe are ridiculous." He lamented that democrats who appear on his show "do not actually believe" what they say.
The frustrated talk show host in his also claimed, “I don’t value indulging irrationality, hyper-partisanship.” He added, "I don't like what I do professionally. I don't think it's worth my time."
On his public profile, Cuomo said "I don't think its worth it to me because I don't think I mean enough, I don't think I matter enough, I don't think I can really change anything, so then what am I really doing?"
He added, "I'm basically being perceived as successful in a system that I don't value. I'm seen as being good at being on TV and advocating for different positions...but I don't know if I value those things, certainly not as much as I value being able to live my life on my own terms."
The talkative host who President Trump mockingly calls 'Fredo,' said a biker confronted him on Easter Sunday while he was out with his family near their home in Southampton. "I don't want some jackass, loser, fat tire biker being able to pull over and get in my space and talk bullshit to me, I don't want to hear it," Cuomo said.
He continued, "That matters to me more than making millions of dollars a year...because I've saved my money and I don't need it anymore. I want to be able to tell you to go to hell, to shut your mouth...I don't get that doing what I do for a living. Me being able to tell you to shut your mouth or I will do you the way you guys do each other. Here I am in an almost powerless position against this asshole because I'm a celebrity and he's allowed to say whatever he wants to me."
The CNN host sounding deflated, acknowledged he will never be as successful in Cable TV news as his Fox news rival Sean Hannity.
He ranted, “So, I’m gonna make changes. Why? Because I’ve gotta be happy. Why? Because life is short. Life is short. And I’m pretty far down the road – I’m gonna be 50. I’ll never be Sean Hannity."
The 49-year-old in his rant also knocked President Trump. He said he wishes to stop obsessing - like many of his CNN colleagues do - over President Trump, "who we all know is full of shit by design."
The host's brother, governor Andrew Cuomo told Howard Stern show on Monday, that the President often asks about his brother during phone calls on the effort against the wuhanvirus pandemic crisis.
This is not the CNN host's first public meltdown. A youtube video last summer, showed him threatening a man for calling him 'Fredo.'
