NY Post
An armed crew terrorized Manhattan food delivery workers in a spree where they stole seven e-bikes – and stabbed one worker during a botched stick-up, authorities said.
Several suspects — seen in images released by the NYPD Monday — flashed guns, knives and razor blades in the 11-day spree across Harlem where they targeted at least nine victims, cops said.
Eight of the victims were confirmed to be delivery workers, and seven of them lost their bikes to the thieving crew, police said.
In the most violent case, two suspects approached a 41-year-old man making a delivery on West 131st Street near Seventh Avenue around 9:45 p.m. Feb. 29, cops said.
The pair flashed a knife, stabbed the worker in the left upper back and tried to grab his cellphone before taking off, authorities said.
The suspects fled empty-handed, cops said.
