BRONX - A food delivery driver had a gun placed to his head by a pair of robbers who stole his e-bike outside a Bronx McDonald’s.


 

Police released surveillance photos of two men wanted for the armed robbery of a food delivery driver.




At around 9:45 pm on May 24, a 44-year-old delivery man was on an electric bike outside a McDonald’s at 1982 Westchester Avenue outside Parkchester.


 

Cops said two men walked up to the bike rider and one of them placed a gun to the driver’s head. According to investigators, the other robber pushed the delivery man off his e-bike. The accomplice rummaged through the rider’s pocket and removed cash and a work card.


 

Then one of the thieves mounted the bike and rode oof with his accomplice following close behind on foot, cops said.


The victim did not sustain any injuries.





The suspects are described as two males in their 20s with medium complexions. One of the suspects was last seen wearing a black hoodie with white stripes across the chest and sleeve.
