Police Seek Bicyclist in Chinatown Assault

Police are trying to identify a man suspected of striking a 60-year-old woman in Philadelphia’s Chinatown shortly before 3 p.m. on November 3. The incident took place on the 1000 block of Race Street, where the man was riding east on a bicycle, police said.

Investigators say the bicyclist extended his arm and hit the woman in the face, causing her to fall backward. Video released by police shows a man with a bicycle and an orange delivery bag. Footage from shortly before the incident shows him making a food delivery nearby. Police believe he may have been delivering food by bicycle in other parts of Philadelphia that day.

Anyone with information about the man’s whereabouts may reach Philadelphia police at 215-686-TIPS (8477) by phone or text, or submit an anonymous tip online.
