A teenager was threatened with a knife and had his e-bike stolen during a frightening incident in Stockton last week.

Officers from Cleveland Police are investigating after the teenager had his electric Haibike taken by occupants of a car which had followed him and then threatened him with a knife.

The 16-year-old was on Cornfield Road in Fairfield at around 6pm on Tuesday, September 5, when he was followed by a red Ford Fiesta with two unknown occupants wearing balaclavas.

The passenger got out of the car, pointed a knife at the teenager and made him hand over the bike. 

The boy then ran to safety and was unharmed during the incident. 

The Haibike has a grey frame with orange in places and a missing chainguard.
