Police are investigating a bizarre bicycle theft on the Upper West Side.
Surveillance video captured a man sliding a chained bike up a pole and lifting it out before taking off.
Police said he'd taken a ladder from in front of a home on West 76th Street and climbed it to get the bike high enough to free it from the pole.
It happened at about 5 p.m. on May 26.
The suspect is described as a tall man with a large build, balding with a mustache. He appears to be about 40 to 50 years old, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS or at nypdcrimestoppers.com.
