Cops: Man pulls knife on acquaintance

A Hicksville man was arrested Thursday after police said he tried to rob an acquaintance at knifepoint only to have the victim ride off on a bicycle -- and report the incident to police.

Christian Menendez, 20, of 94 Dartmouth Dr., was arrested a short time later on charges of first-degree attempted robbery.

No one was injured, but Menendez was arrested a short time later near the intersection of Cedar and Stanley Street. Menendez faces arraignment Friday in First District Court in Hempstead.
