Man Attacked, Robbed Of E-Bike Outside Astoria Bodega: Video

ASTORIA, QUEENS — A group of men attacked a man outside an Astoria deli and stole his e-bike on Tuesday, according to police, who released video of the robbery.

The 23-year-old victim had just walked out of the Mi Esquinita bodega on the corner of 30th Road and 14th Street at around 9:30 p.m., and was getting onto his e-bike when the group walked up, police said.

Video released Thursday shows one man drag the victim off of his e-bike, sending them both toppling to the sidewalk. Two other men then start hitting the victim, with one using what appears to be a bottled drink, according to police and video.

The victim manages to escape and jog away, video shows. Two of the attackers got onto the stolen bike and fled southbound along 14th Street, while the third person walked westbound along 30th Road, police said.

The victim suffered cuts to his head and was treated at Mount Sinai Queens hospital, police said.
