Police in Birmingham are searching for a man who stole a bicycle at knifepoint from a delivery rider.
The suspect threatened to stab the cyclist before stealing his bike outside a branch of McDonald’s on Belchers Lane, Bordesley Green, just before Christmas, reports Birmingham Live.
The theft took place on 18 December and West Midlands Police have now released CCTV images of a man they wish to speak to in connection with the crime.
Police say that the man, who was wearing a padded black jacket, grey sweatpants, and black and white trainers, told the food delivery cyclist that he would stab him unless he gave up his bike.
A spokesperson for West Midlands Police said: “We want to speak to this man after a Just Eat delivery driver had his bike stolen outside McDonald’s, Bordesley Green.
