MANHATTAN — Three men robbed a cyclist at gunpoint while he was riding his bike through Central Park early Saturday morning, according to the NYPD.

The 23-year-old victim was cycling near 106th Street and Fifth Avenue at about 12:50 a.m. on July 16 when one of the three suspects pointed a gun at him and demanded money, police said.

The victim handed over his backpack which had his driver’s license, debit card and $60 in cash inside.

The group fled with the pack, and police said the man was uninjured.
