POLICE have arrested a man on suspicion of robbery after a 14-year-old boy was robbed of his mountain bike at knifepoint at the weekend.
The 35-year-old man is in custody following his arrest in connection with the incident.
Alex Bowman was robbed of his £600 green Cube bike at the entrance to Stewart Park in Middlesbrough on Saturday evening.
He was on his way to play football with a friend when he was held at knifepoint and threatened.
His mother, Marie Stuart, said the bike was a prized Christmas present which she had worked and saved hard for.
