Bridgeport police are looking for a person who assaulted someone under 18 and then stole his bicycle outside a business in the city on Sunday, police said.
Police responded to an establishment at the corner of Ogden Street and Noble Avenue in Bridgeport on Sunday to investigate a report of a strong-arm robbery, police said. When officers arrived, the juvenile victim told police he had parked his bike outside while he went in the business to buy something, according to police.
When he got back to his bike, someone was sitting on it, police said. He told the person to "give it back," he said to police. But instead of complying, the person punched him in the right side of his stomach and took off on the victim's bicycle in the westbound direction on Ogden Street, police said.
Police are still looking for the robber and the bicycle, which is a red, gray and black TREK mountain bike.
The incident remains under investigation.
Bridgeport police ask anyone with information to contact the department at 203-576-1311.
