After damaging a car with his bicycle, a man threatened the auto’s owner with a gun in Grays Ferry.
A man was riding his red and black bike down the 1500 block of Marston Street near 28th Street when he struck a vehicle’s side mirror, which detached and fell to the ground at 9:14 p.m. Aug. 30, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The auto’s 23-year-old owner witnessed the attack and exchanged a few words with the man, who fled and later returned with a small, black gun. He then asked the woman and her friend of the same age what they wanted to do before fleeing south on Marston.
The offender was described as black, age 23, 5-foot-8, thin; having short dreadlocks; and wearing a gray Nike T-shirt and black pants with a white strip up each side.
