Robbery crew sought for stealing 7 e-bikes from Manhattan delivery workers
NEW YORK (PIX11) --- A man was stabbed and seven e-bikes were stolen by an armed robbery crew that was targeting delivery workers in Manhattan last month, authorities said Monday.
The crew is sought in nine incidents from Feb. 19 to Feb. 29, including four in one day, according to the NYPD. The suspects threatened the workers with either a knife, gun, or razor blades before robbing them in the area of West 119th to West 130th streets in Manhattan, police said.
In one of the incidents, the suspects stabbed a 41-year-old delivery worker in the back near 107 West 119th St. at around 9:45 p.m. on Feb. 29, according to the NYPD. The victim was taken to the hospital for treatment.
The crew didn't steal anything from the man but stole three e-bikes from three other delivery workers on the same day, police said. Those workers were not attacked, police said.
The suspects, who are still at large, were also connected to four additional e-bike thefts in Upper Manhattan, police said.
The NYPD released photos of the suspects sought in the incidents.
