FORT GREENE — A thief snatched a deliveryman’s electric bike while he was on the job last week, police said.
The worker was making a delivery for Chung Chun Kitchen at the Walt Whitman Houses around 11:40 p.m. on Tuesday when the bike was stolen, according to the NYPD.
The man left the motorized bike, worth $1,600, on the street as he walked to the front door of the building, police said.
When he looked back to check on the vehicle, he saw a man get on it and ride it away toward St. Edwards Street, police said.
Police were not able to track down the suspect or the bike.
Other notable crimes from the 88th precinct include:
► A 15-year-old boy was walking through Fort Greene Park talking on his phone around 3:25 p.m. on May 25 when a stranger stopped him, pressed a knife against the victim’s left cheek and stole his backpack, phone and sneakers, worth $625, police said.
► A 21-year-old man was walking near Myrtle Avenue around 4 a.m. on May 28 when another man approached him asking for the time, police said.

A manager at the eatery said on Wednesday that wasn't aware of the incident.
