A bicyclist passed two men, but turned around and robbed the duo by gunpoint in Queen Village Tuesday.
A 24- and 22-year-old man were walking on the 500 blcock of Catharine Street at 12:30 a.m. when the offender turned around and hopped off a black mountain bike, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He pointed a small, semi-automatic handgun that he pulled from his waistband at the pair and said, “You know what I want.” The younger man handed over his wallet, which contained ID and credit cards, while the other male gave him $30.
The robber, who was described as black, age 20 to 29, 6 foot, thin, clean-shaven; having short hair; and wearing a white T-shirt and black pants, fled southbound on Fifth on his bike.
