Two men arrested for attempting to ripoff Citi Bikes from docking station

Two thieves were busted for strong-arming two Citi Bikes out of a docking station in the Lower East Side today, police said.

Plainclothes officers spotted the bike bandits on Stanton and Chrystie Streets at 3:40 p.m. and asked them to show their receipts, cops said.

The duo quickly copped to the crime, police said.

Bakary Camara, 34, who is homeless, and Jeffery Doeteng, 22, allegedly yanked the bikes from the station dock before attempting to pedal away with them.

Both were arrested on charges of grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property, cops said.
