Gunman Steals Delivery Worker's Bike In Harlem: Police

HARLEM, NY — A delivery worker was robbed at gunpoint in Harlem on Friday evening, police said, resulting in the gunman making off with the worker's e-bike.

It's the latest armed robbery involving a delivery worker in Harlem, with a single group responsible for at least nine other similar stick-ups in the neighborhood, most of which resulted in the workers' e-bikes being stolen.

Police couldn't immediately say if Friday's robbery was connected to the same group.

The worker was delivering food at East 124th Street and Third Avenue at around 8 p.m. when the robbery happened, police told Patch.

As he was locking up his bike, a man appeared from behind with a gun, officials said.

“Give me the bike or you’ll get a bullet,” the man told the delivery worker, according to an NYPD spokesperson.

Fearing for his life, the worker handed over his bike, which the gunman took and fled with in an unknown direction, police said.

An official told Patch that, once caught, the crook will face charges of robbery, grand larceny and menacing.

Police had no description of the suspect as of Monday morning.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
