A teenager was told he would be killed by two men brandishing knives who stole his bike.
The 14-year-old had been out riding with a friend in Stewart Park in Middlesbrough at around 6.30pm on Saturday evening.
Two men, both reported to be armed with knives, approached the boy and threatened to kill him if he did not hand over his mountain bike.
The first man is described as wearing blue Adidas clothes with stripes, and had a black scarf over his face. He was possibly around 30 years of age.
There is no description yet of the second man involved.
One of the men is believed to have been on a bicycle.
Police are now appealing for anyone with information about the incident to come forward urgently.
Officers are also hoping to track down the teenager’s bike - a Green Cube moutain bike, with blue writing and black mud guards.
Anyone with information should call Cleveland Police on 101 quoting event number Y60088, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
