NEWARK, Del. (AP) — Newark Police say two men on bicycles robbed a woman walking near College Avenue.

It happened about 7:40 p.m. Thursday on Pomeroy Trail. Officers say two men riding bikes approached the woman from behind and demanded money from her.

Officers say one man took a can of pepper spray from the woman’s bag, and the two fled the scene.

The woman was not hurt.

Investigators have obtained a warrant for a man in the crime. He is identified as 20-year-old Kyle Price of Earleville, Maryland.
