A 62-year-old man was reportedly assaulted - and robbed - while riding his bike in Providence.

About Incident 

Shortly after 5 AM on Tuesday, Providence Police responded to Hayward Street at Broad Street for a report of a robbery.

Police say they encountered the victim, who was bleeding from the mouth.

The victim told police he had been riding his bike on Hayward Street, when a man on foot began to chase him. 

The victim said he then lost his balance and fell, at which time the man began to assault him.

The victim told police the suspect punched him a number of times with a closed fist, and stole his credit card.

Detectives are currently investigating.

Discussion Free Bike

Hello neighbors,

I'm reaching out because I'm in need of a bike but can't afford to purchase one right now due to the rising cost of living. Lately, I've been feeling a bit down-both financially and mentally-and I believe that taking daily bike rides would really lift my spirits.

If anyone has a bike they're willing to give away, I would deeply appreciate it. Ideally, I'd love to have one that I can attach a toddler seat to so my little one can enjoy rides with me.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for considering my request!

Question / Suggestion Police presence

0 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed an increase in police presence in the last 2 weeks? From Cranston to Warren I saw 5 people get pulled over just this morning alone!

Also does anyone know why there is always police presence at the rest stop just before the Warren exit (5). They always of the hood of the trucks open like they are searching for something and I feel like its almost every morning.
