He was described as approximately 30 years old, 5'7" tall, with a heavyset build, wearing a black hoodie featuring the words "Wall Street Journal" and black pants, riding a black mountain bike.

The suspect, who remains at large, quickly fled the scene following the incident, heading in the direction of South Ashton Avenue.
