Cops are searching for the cyclist who they said rode into a guy and sent him crashing to the ground in Sunset Park last month, then fled the scene.
The bicyclist slammed into the victim on June 4 as he crossed a crosswalk on 53rd Street at Seventh Avenue around 5:50 pm, knocking the man to the pavement and causing blunt-force trauma to his head, according to police, who said the bike rider pedaled away on 53rd Street towards Sixth Avenue.
Paramedics rushed the victim to NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn in critical condition, authorities said.
Officers described the man they want to question as black-haired and in his late teens to early twenties.
