EAST HARLEM — A group of teenagers robbed a man of his bicycle then punched and kicked him, police said.

The teens walked up to the 29-year-old man near 305 E. 115th St. about 11 p.m. on Sept. 1, according to the NYPD.

One of them told the man, “Give me a ride on your bike,” police said.

When the man refused, the teen said, “I’m going to take your bike anyway.” He and his friends punched the man and kicked him in the face.

They ran off with the $300 custom bicycle, police said.
