    A bicycle-riding bandit sucker-punched a man, knocking him out, before robbing the victim blind on a Brooklyn street, police said Friday.

    The shocking attack happened just past 10:30 a.m. Sunday near Metropolitan Avenue and Manhattan Avenue in Williamsburg.

    The assailant rode a Citi Bike up to his 26-year-old victim and whacked him on the right side of the head, leaving him unconscious, according to the NYPD.
