A delivery man told police early Saturday morning he’d been robbed downtown by a knife-wielding man on a bicycle.
Police responded at about 4 a.m. to the intersection of South College Avenue and West Third Street, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Pam Gladish said. The 28-year-old delivery man told them he’d been biking south on College Avenue a few minutes earlier when another biker passed him going the opposite direction.
He didn’t think anything of the other biker, he said, until a few moments later, when he stopped at a red light at the intersection of Third and College and the other biker pulled up next to him.
The other biker pressed a “hunting-style” knife against his chest and demanded $20, the delivery man said. He gave him all the money he had and then biked away.
The delivery man described the robber as a white man of about 30 years, with a dark cap and a light-colored hoodie. He did not have a description of the bike.
The case is under investigation.
