During the scuffle, the suspect reportedly struck the victim with a bicycle lock and chain and bit him before fleeing on a blue ten-speed bicycle.

The victim was taken to St. Luke's Hospital and treated for his injuries.

The suspect is described as a white male in his late 20's to early 30's, wearing a light-colored shirt and light-colored pants.
