New Bedford Police: Two Men on Bicycles Mugged at Knifepoint

Two men report being mugged along New Bedford's waterfront Thursday night.

Det. Lt. John Chaves says the two men were riding their bicycles to work Thursday night near the 200 block of Herman Melville Boulevard when two men rode up in a car beside them, got out, and threatened the victims at knifepoint demanding cash.

The suspects took an undetermined amount of cash and fled the scene. They're described as two tall, black men, both in their mid-twenties.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Macaila Saunders and 508-991-6330 ext 79515.
