A man walking on Sixth Street near Cedar Street at 4:20 a.m. Monday was accosted and robbed by a man on a bike whose name, the victim says, is Leo. 

The suspect – an African-American male in his 50s, 5 feet, 6 inches tall, 145 pounds – got off his bicycle and rushed at the victim. The suspect accused him of owing money. The suspect pushed the pedestrian to the ground and yanked the watch off his left wrist, Berkeley Police Capt. Bobby Miller said. 

The victim said he was either punched or kicked in the head during an ordeal while the suspect continuously cursed him, and then rode away on his bicycle. A passer-by called the police for the victim, who said he knows the suspect.
