Two teenagers were arrested on Tuesday for attacking a 15-year-old boy and stealing his bike at a local park, Menlo Park police said.
The victim was riding his Schwinn Road bicycle at Bedwell Bayfront Park shortly before 6 p.m. when two 15-year-old boys pushed him to the ground and punched him in the stomach before taking off with the bike.
Based on descriptions provided by witnesses, other local jurisdictions were notified of the crime and Redwood City police located the assailants moments later, according to the report.
They were booked into juvenile hall. The victim was treated at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries, and got his bike back.
Similar cases have been reported in recent weeks at the city's skate park and near the pedestrian/bicycle bridge at Ringwood Avenue and U.S. 101. Police said no information to date suggests the Sept. 11 robbery was connected to others.Are you receiving Express, our free daily e-mail edition? See a sample and sign-up for Express.
