FORT GREENE — A 40-year-old cyclist approached by an unarmed thief agreed to hand over his $1,000 bike when asked because he was intoxicated, he told police.
The man told officers he was riding near Clinton and Park avenues just after 5:50 p.m. on Oct. 27 when the suspect approached and asked him to get off the bike, police said.
The victim said he agreed and did what he was told because he was drunk, according to the NYPD.
